Things to do in Seattle, Washington, USA

Printable guide

Picture a high-tech, modern city encompassed by the natural beauty of jagged mountain peaks and crystalline water. Throw in a mild year-round climate and a relaxed lifestyle. Add to this some obsessively fresh seafood and produce, plenty of tasty coffee, and locally crafted microbrews. Finally mix in some individualistic, socially conscious, outdoorsy citizens, and this paints the portrait of Seattle.

Once a rural town based on lumber and agriculture, it remained rather sleepy until recent decades when giant corporations such as Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, and Starbucks moulded the Seattle metropolitan area into the technological hub that it is today. Famous musicians and bands such as Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana opened the doors to a vibrant music scene. Now rapidly becoming a new centre for biotechnology and global health, Seattle has truly made its name in the world.

Whether you are here one day or one week, look beyond the notorious rain clouds and try to experience a culture unique in itself. Take a ride up the Space Needle, watch the flying fish at Pike Place Market, try a variety of cafés and then choose your favorite, feast on some Dungeness crab, take a ferry ride while the sun is setting, or explore the diverse neighborhoods of Capitol Hill, Fremont, and Ballard.
