7 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.

Museum-lovers will get to explore Chihuly Garden and Glass and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Discovery Center. We've included these beaches for you: Cama Beach State Park and Idylwood Beach Park. Change things up with these side-trips from Seattle: Pacific Northwest Quilt & Fiber Arts Museum (in La Conner), Roozengaarde Display Garden (in Mount Vernon) and Deception Pass State Park (in Oak Harbor). There's much more to do: examine the collection at The Museum of Flight, make a trip to Space Needle, admire the natural beauty at Washington Park Arboretum, and deepen your understanding at University of Washington.
