Why visit Seattle?
Seattle combines a dramatic waterfront setting with snow-capped mountain backdrops and evergreen forests. You can enjoy a lively music and arts scene, innovative technology culture, and welcoming neighbourhoods that make the city feel both dynamic and relaxed.
What to expect
Downtown Seattle is compact, walkable, and built around the harbour, with landmarks such as Pike Place Market and the Space Needle close to each other. Distinct districts, from historic Pioneer Square to creative Capitol Hill and the buzzing South Lake Union area, give each day in the city a different flavour.
Plan your trip
Seattle is a natural gateway to the Pacific Northwest, linking you to national parks, islands, and nearby cities like Portland and Vancouver. Plan time for day trips as well as city exploring, and use Seattle as a base for hiking, coastal drives, and scenic ferry journeys across Puget Sound.
