Enjoy the Puget Sound at a Seattle Bed and Breakfast
Seattle is a city that can be just about anything for anyone. For starters, there are boundless possibilities for outdoor enthusiasts. You’ll find plenty of art galleries, museums and theater. Travelers can island hop around the Puget Sound and feast on some of the Pacific Northwest’s finest cuisine. All of this and more awaits visitors to this exciting Washington city.
For those who plan to stay near to the city, there are plenty of attractions. A trip to the Pike Place Market is a must, where you’ll find tons of vendors selling organic produce, hearty fishermen tossing around freshly caught salmon, flower stalls, restaurants and quirky shops. Across the street from the market is the world’s first Starbucks, and the city boasts a number of excellent independent coffee shops. A recent study listed Seattle as one of the nation’s most literate cities, and to that end you’ll find tons of great bookshops to explore. There is a first-rate aquarium and a wonderful children’s museum. The Space Needle is the perfect spot to enjoy a sweeping view, especially after the sun sets.
But perhaps you long for a quieter getaway, removed from the bustle of the city. If that is the case, why not consider a trip to one of the many islands that dot the Puget Sound. Many islands are easily accessible by ferry and offer quaint, old fashioned towns and picturesque scenery.
