What to do in Seattle

If you have never been to Seattle, it’s as beautiful as you’ve heard. The Summit is on the waterfront, and a block from Belltown, a once-seedy section of Seattle that’s now hip and chic and full of condos. Things to do

• Ride the Waterfront Streetcar down to Pioneer Square and our Stadia.
• Visit Myrtle Edwards Park, which has a 1.25-mile winding bike and pedestrian paths along Elliott Bay with fantastic views of the Olympics Mountains, Mount Rainier, and Puget Sound.
• Ride the passenger ferry to Bainbridge Island and back. The best tourist deal in town is to ride the ferry. You see the Sound, the City, and the ferries have WiFi. You can board the ferry, just a few blocks down from the Summit.
• East of the Summit, up a few blocks, is the Seattle Center, Space Needle, Monorail, and Experience Music Project.
• Check the Rem Koolhaus designed Seattle Public Library.

And of course, you can walk the stairs up to the Pike Place Market, the heart of the City.

There’s plenty more to do, this list is just a start. If you want to visit the less touristy side of the city, try Capital Hill, Seattle’s gay district, or Alki Beach, the birthplace of Seattle.

Remember to dress in layers, the weather changes every 10 minutes, and drink the local coffee and beer.
