Come to the exciting city of Seattle, WA where names like Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks and Amazon.com helped to put this city on the map - yet the breathtaking surroundings have always made it a beautiful place to visit and live. Puget Sound, Lake Washington and Lake Union, border the city with spectacular views of the Olympic Mountain Range to the West and the Cascade Mountains to the East with Mt. Rainier, as the crowning glory! Seattle not only offers these panoramic views, but easy access to outdoor activities including skiing, within 50 minutes of the city, water sports, hiking and camping. Ferries transport passengers to and from the neighboring Islands of Vashon and Bainbridge to the city. Across Lake Washington are two floating bridges that connect to the cities of Bellevue and Redmond. As one of America's top arts destinations, Seattle offers some of the finest galleries, museums and performing arts centers in the country. Pioneer Square, Seattle's historic district features some 20 square blocks of Victorian Romanesque architecture, filled with museums, galleries, restaurants and great night life! And no trip would be complete without going on the Underground Tour, where you can still see what is left of the city from the Great Seattle Fire in 1889. Seattle is also home to some great niche museums such as the Experience Music Project, Center for Wooden Boats and the Museum of Flight. The Seattle Center, home of the 1962 World's Fair is now a 74 acre urban park featuring the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center, and Seattle Opera. It hosts to many of the city's largest events including Bite of Seattle, Folklife Arts Festival, and Bumbershoot (an annual Seattle art's festival with famous musical groups from around the country)! Seattle has a great sense of community with different neighborhoods having festivals, fairs and parades throughout the year. Indie music is alive and well in the birthplace of Jimi Hendrix and later the grunge scene.FROM I-5 SOUTH, TAKE EXIT 175 (NORTH 145TH STREET) TURN RIGHT ONTO NORTH 145TH STREET TRAVEL 1 1/4 MILES TURN LEFT ONTO HIGHWAY 99 (AURORA AVENUE) TRAVEL 1/2 MILE TURN LEFT ONTO NORTH 135TH STREET TRAVEL 200 FEET TURN RIGHT ONTO STONE AVENUE NHOTEL WILL BE ON THE LEFT FROM I-5 NORTH, TAKE EXIT 175 (NORTH 145TH STREET) TURN LEFT ONTO NORTH 145TH STREET TRAVEL 1 1/4 MILES TURN LEFT ONTO HIGHWAY 99 (AURORA AVENUE) TRAVEL 1/2 MILE TURN LEFT ONTO NORTH 135TH STREET TRAVEL 200 FEET TURN RIGHT ONTO STONE AVE NHOTEL WILL BE ON THE LEFT GO NORTH ON INTERNATIONAL BLVD/WA-99 TOWARDS S 176TH STREETMERGE ONTO WA-518 MERGE ONTO I-5 N VIA THE EXIT ON THE LEFT TOWARD SEATTLE TRAVEL 19 1/2 MILES AND TAKE EXIT 175 (N 145TH ST)TURN LEFT ON TO N 145TH STREET TRAVEL 1 1/4 MILES TURN LEFT ON HIGHWAY 99 (AURORA AVE) TRAVEL 1/2 MILE TURN LEFT AT N 135TH STREETGO 200 FEET TURN RIGHT ON TO STONE AVE NHOTEL WILL BE ON YOUR LEFT
