9 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.

Explore Seattle's surroundings by going to 5 Mile Drive & Trails (in Tacoma), Olympic National Park (Mount Ellinor & Mount Walker) and Mt Si (in North Bend). There's much more to do: take in panoramic vistas at Space Needle, wander the streets of Pike Place Market, get up close and personal with brilliant marine life at Seattle Aquarium, and stroll around Discovery Park.
