Known for its iconic skyline and rich coffee culture, Seattle is a funky coastal city with easy access to mountains, water and world-class arts. The absolute must-do: Dining on fresh seafood at the historic Pike Place Market. (We’re looking at you, Dungeness crab.)
Whether it’s your first or fifth visit to this Pacific Northwest culture capital, here’s a snapshot of how to spend a few perfect days in Seattle.
Sleep...
at the sleek Four Seasons Hotel Seattle. In the warmer months, enjoy dips in the outdoor pool with views over the bay.
Experience...
an afternoon at Pike Place Market—a sprawling farmer’s market where you’ll find fish, handmade crafts, specialty foods and spices, baked goods, trinkets and everything in between.
Splurge...
on a private boat tour. Seattle is on the water and about the water, making this experience the best way to soak up the city’s energy.
Eat...
at one of Seattle’s many award-winning restaurants like AQUA by El Gaucho, Canlis or the legendary Shiro’s Sushi.
Drink...
at the buzzy, plant-filled 1 Hotel Seattle. The Spanish-inspired rooftop restaurant and bar is great for a group, while the ground floor lounge has a DJ spinning into the night.
Savor...
Seattle’s delicious seafood offerings at iconic restaurants like Place Pigalle and Matt’s in the Market.
Visit...
the Olympic Sculpture Park, a nine-acre park overlooking Puget Sound—it’s also an alfresco offshoot of the Seattle Art Museum, with a stellar collection of outdoor sculptures.
See...
Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and Mt. Rainier while riding the Seattle Great Wheel. (The observation pods are completely enclosed, seat four, move slowly and don’t sway.)
Shop...
at Seattle’s pre-eminent bookstore, Elliott Bay Book Company, with a coffee in hand. Does it get any more Seattle than that?
