60 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.

Get out of town with these interesting Seattle side-trips: Olympic National Park (Hood Canal, Murhut Falls, & more), Everett (Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens, Imagine Children's Museum, & more) and Shelton (Potlatch State Park, Wild Felid Advocacy Center of Washington, & more). Dedicate the 26th (Sun) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. Pack the 19th (Fri) with family-friendly diversions at Wild Waves Theme & Water Park. And it doesn't end there: take in the exciting artwork at Chihuly Garden and Glass, admire all the interesting features of Hiram M. Chittenden Locks, admire nature's wide array of creatures at Seattle Aquarium, and stroll through Discovery Park.
