SEATTLE

Seattle

Orcas swimming next to a ferry, salmon swimming upstream in the middle of town, and cheese making at Pike Place Market are just some of the experiences you may not expect to find on a visit to Seattle. It’s a great walking city where viewing art is a walk in the park at Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. Wander the bustling waterfront or hop on a ferry to experience the San Juan Islands. Take a journey out of Seattle and within 30 minutes you will be at the Premium Outlet Mall, or for the aircraft enthusiasts the Boeing plant is open to the public for tours.
