Experience Seattle
As the largest city in the state of Washington and one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, Seattle is a cultural trendsetter where both the grunge rock of the early 1990s and the national coffee craze originated. Seattle is also home to plenty of microbreweries and diverse restaurants. Seattle earned its nickname – the “Emerald City” – for its luxuriant year-round greenery. There’s no shortage of ways to explore this nature-filled mecca. Its mild weather and walkability allow for many outdoor activities, and it rains much less than people think.
In downtown Seattle, you can enjoy the Seattle Art Museum, the Seattle Symphony, and Pike Place Market, a city landmark since 1907, where you won’t want to pass up the chance to enjoy a bite to eat at Pike Place Chowder. Although it’s always a good time of day to visit the Space Needle, the sunset view offers particularly iconic and breathtaking views. Grab a table at SkyCity, the Space Needle’s restaurant, for dinner, drinks, and dessert.
Take in stunning views from vantages around town, including Kerry Park and the Seattle Great Wheel on the waterfront. Relax on a cruise across Puget Sound on a Washington State Ferry. Venture out on your own for a hike or the many other outdoor activities Seattle offers. No matter how you spend your leisure time exploring Seattle, you are certain to be in awe.
Traveling to Seattle
Affordable airfares are still available. The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport is 15–20 minutes from ACCP’s headquarters hotel, the Sheraton Seattle. You can easily get there using the Downtown Airporter Shuttle Express, Uber, Lyft, a taxicab, or the Link light rail.
