Seattle, Washington, also known as the Emerald City, is an ideal destination for solo travelers and families who enjoy a vibrant mix of nature, history, art, food, and culture. The city, considered to be the largest in the Pacific Northwest, is interestingly sandwiched between several amazing bodies of water, including Lake Union and Puget Sound.

Nature and outdoor activity enthusiasts will surely appreciate the amazing parks, gardens, and arboretums dotting the city. These parks offer good hiking, biking, bird-watching, and camping opportunities, and spectacular sceneries and views of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains.

Seattle downtown is another must see destination. Columbia Center, Pike Market, the Aquarium, Art Museum, Central Library and other interesting places can be found in the downtown area. Historical Pike Market is a must see attraction for its fresh seafood market, good eats, and local crafts. The Space Needle and the Seattle Center, iconic landmarks of the city, are located northwest of downtown and accessible via the Seattle Center Monorail.

Ride the Ducks is an interesting 90 minute tour on an amphibious vehicle, which traverses through downtown and into nearby Lake Union. Other local tours focus on Seattle’s historical past like the Underground Tour, which takes visitors below Pioneer Square for a taste of Old Seattle.
