Welcome to #Seattle, a city that straddles the modern world and the natural one.
When the sun comes out, you’re in for the perfect photo op, where blue skies and calm seas surround classic architecture and striking modern buildings. Take in a view of the city from the Observation Deck of Smith Tower, then head down to the waterfront for incredible seafood and harbor cruises.
#Visit the world-famous Pike Place Market, home to fresh catches, local produce, and yes, the world’s first Starbucks®. From there, explore the great outdoors at Woodland Park Zoo, full of recreated savannahs and tropical rainforests. Explore Olympic National Park a few hours away and meander through its scenic, wooded beauty.
Round out your Seattle #vacation with Ruby Beach. Look out to the ocean, watch the sunset, and know you’re in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.
