15 Best Things To Do in Seattle, Washington

Picture of Seattle, Washington

About Seattle


Known for its majestic skyline, Seattle is primarily a hub of commercial and financial activities. However, the city also has a cultural vibe coupled with the oceangoing ships and ferries.

Meanwhile, there are dozens of public art places, museums, and galleries for people with fine tastes to spend their days. At the same time, the sports activities in the city never seem to cease.

The Seattle Center, sprawled over 74 acres, is just the place to spend a leisurely afternoon since it has everything from the KeyArena to the International Fountain with 137 water jets.

Most importantly, the Space Needle is a must-visit spot in the city, being an icon for Seattle and seen in many Hollywood hits. The 158-meter tall building was once the tallest in the region and still gives a bird’s eye view of the Olympic Mountains.
