17 days in Seattle Itinerary

Nicknamed the "Emerald City" because of its abundant evergreen trees, Seattle is the cultural and business center of the Pacific Northwest, as well as a popular holiday destination.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like Bruce Lee Grave Site and Pioneer Square. Step out of the city life by going to Hurricane Ridge and Cama Beach State Park. Explore the numerous day-trip ideas around Seattle: Rosario Beach (in Anacortes), Tacoma (Museum of Glass, LeMay - America's Car Museum, &more) and Roozengaarde Display Garden (in Mount Vernon). And it doesn't end there: examine the collection at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Discovery Center, explore the world behind art at Chihuly Garden and Glass, enjoy the sand and surf at Double Bluff Beach, and deepen your understanding at University of Washington.
