Seattle and Tacoma
At the heart of the Puget Sound is Seattle, a large yet friendly city, the hub of commerce and the arts. Yet the entire region has just as many gems to be discovered as this Emerald city. Seattle Bed and Breakfast's offer fantastic value and are highly rated when compared to hotel alternatives.
Seattle - "Metro Natural" is the jet propelled, coffee fueled, computer driven cultural center of the Pacific Northwest. Hard against the bustling Puget Sound and in the shadow of the Cascade Mountains, Seattle is a city steeped in history and leads the country with its vision of the future.
The bustling Seattle waterfront with expansive views of Puget Sound and the Olympic mountains is home to many related activities including ferry docks, the fishing fleet, conference facilities and cruise ships. Just above the waterfront is the famed Pike Place Market where fresh fish seem to fly from the vendor into the arms of waiting customers.
Ride the monorail from downtown to the Seattle Center. The Space Needle is the heart of the center and one of Washington's most recognized icons. The center is a hub of activities anchored by world-renowned cultural facilities such as McCaw Hall, home of the Pacific NW Ballet company and the Seattle Opera, the futuristic Experience Music Project (EMP) and the Sci-Fi museum.
The Seattle art scene is ever-growing with the addition of the new Olympic Sculpture Park on the waterfront and a expanded Seattle Art Museum (SAM). Seattle is also well known for its theatre companies hosting the Intiman Theater, Seattle Repertory, ACT and the restored Paramount, the 5th Ave and Moore Theatre.
One can't think of Seattle without noticing the two sports facilities located in SODO (SOuth of DOwntown) at the edge of historic Pioneer Square. Qwest Field hosts the Seattle Seahawks and Safeco hosts the Seattle Mariners. The views from these two stadiums are worth the price of a ticket whether you are a fan or not.
Redmond, home of Microsoft is known as bicycle town. The Burke-Gilman/Samamish River Trail is 27 miles of paved trail that ends at Marymoor Park. Marymoor is the site of the Veledrom, a oval bicycle track that host races on Wednesdays and Fridays.
Tacoma the city that lies in the shadow of Mt. Rainier. Tacoma has redeveloped the downtown area with a free light rail system that connects the Museum District with the Theater District. This area includes the Museum of Glass, Tacoma Art Museum and the Washington State History Museum, Broadway Center for the Performing Arts and the Tacoma Convention Center. Historic Union Station and the spectacular Chihuly Bridge of Glass are free to the public.
Olympia, Not just the capital! Olympia is a special community and desirable city because of a combination of its energetic, creative, and farsighted people and its beautiful northwest setting. Olympia is also regarded nationally as one of the best small cities for the arts in the country. Take in a live performance or independent film at our numerous theaters. Feeling youthful? Join in the fun at the interactive Heritage Park Fountain. Then take a self-guided tour of Percival Landing, Olympia's boardwalk, past more than 80 pieces of public art and end watching the sunset from the observation tower with views of the Olympics, Cascades, Mt Rainier, and the boats on Puget Sound.
Of course this is the capital and the capitol building and campus are definitely worth a visit, with free tours to the public. The capitol building is the 4th tallest domed structure of its kind in the world! There are numerous museums on Washington and Olympia's history as well as the Hands On Children's Museum, abundant Art Galleries and a vibrant downtown with great shopping with unique items. Plus, from April through December our Farmers Market is open with some of the best and freshest ingredients anywhere, which are featured on the menus of many of our restaurants.
There is plenty to do for the nature lover too! There is the Nisqually Delta Wildlife refuge, Capital Forest, as well as Wolf Haven, a wolf sanctuary, not to mention numerous parks, miles of bike trails, and ample access to the Puget Sound.
