Must visit places of interest in Seattle
If you are going to Seattle, WA, go in Summer as that is the best time. Be prepared to walk as downtown Seattle is mostly a walking city and their public transportation is pretty good. Not to mention, parking spaces is very limited and can get very costly. So put on your comfortable shoes and hit some of these places.
If you are sticking around the downtown area, these are the places that I highly recommend. These location are in the heart of town and can be easily accessible by public transportation (we drove but parking was expensive and hard to find).
