10 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.

Family-friendly places like Pike Place Market and The Museum of Flight will thrill your kids. Change things up with these side-trips from Seattle: Seahurst Beach Park (in Burien) and Family Fun Center and Bullwinkle's Restaurant (in Tukwila). Dedicate the 25th (Tue) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's much more to do: enjoy breathtaking views from Space Needle, admire the masterpieces at Chihuly Garden and Glass, look for gifts at Elliott Bay Book Company, and find something for the whole family at Seattle Great Wheel.
