5 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.

Chihuly Garden and Glass and Seattle Art Museum will appeal to museum buffs. Popular historic sites such as Bruce Lee Grave Site and Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum are in your itinerary. Venture out of the city with trips to LeMay - America's Car Museum (in Tacoma) and Roozengaarde Display Garden (in Mount Vernon). The adventure continues: shop like a local with Pike Place Market, see the interesting displays at Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Discovery Center, get engrossed in the history at Museum of History & Industry, and take in panoramic vistas at Space Needle.
