Description of the Location:
Seattle offers the best of both worlds: a bounty of indoor options, plus easy access to the region's riches of outdoor beauty. After checking out iconic attractions like the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, get your dose of arts and culture; explore the Seattle Art Museum, Capitol Hill's Seattle Asian Art Museum, the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture on the UW campus and, for something different, MoPop or the Nordic Museum. Outdoor buffs enjoy Discovery and Magnuson parks, the beaches in West Seattle and north of Ballard, plus alfresco sports ranging from kayaking to paddle boarding.
