Review of Seattle
Seattle
Catch flights to Seattle, where Mount Rainier towers over sparkling high-rises, grunge music clubs and fresh seafood markets.
Things to do
During your city break enter Seattle’s futuristic museum, the Experience Music Project. Then put on your headphones and lose yourself in the sounds of Seattle – Ray Charles’ piano melodies, Jimi Hendrix’s screaming guitar riffs and Nirvana’s pounding percussion.
Shopping
The scent of fresh Pacific Coast salmon, ripe strawberries and fresh-cut lilies fill stalls at Seattle’s favourite shopping destination, Pike Place Market. Buy seafood from Seattle in flight-ready boxes, or browse craft stalls with traditional Pacific Northwest wood carvings and polished stone necklaces.
Restaurants
Seattle’s waterfront restaurants are famous for their sweet, deep-fried clams and butter-dipped crab legs. You can enjoy succulent fresh fish and meat at Canlis, a fine dining restaurant overlooking Lake Union.
Nightlife
Relax before return flights from Seattle in Pioneer Square hot spots. Sample a cold, locally-brewed Elysian beer to the sound of pounding rock performances, or sip chilled martini drinks dancing to DJs who mix it up on a Seattle holiday.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Seattle. Plan a city break to Seattle’s Seafair festival of parades and boat races, or the September Bumbershoot arts festival.
