What to Do In Seattle

When you are not taking part in your training activities, there is plenty to explore and experience in Seattle and nearby. A car allows you to explore the city at your leisure, but there is a lot to see on foot and by public transportation as well. No matter what transportation option you choose, you will not have to go too far away to discover the waterside city and everything it has to offer.

Outdoor Activities in Seattle and Surrounding Areas

While the winters get relatively chilly, outdoor activities are still a great option to rest and unwind after your main training activities. As one of the most famous cities in the whole country, you should certainly take the opportunity to get outside and enjoy everything that you can.

• Discovery Park: While it is still located within the city limits, you will feel like you have stepped into another world when you see the mountain views and get out on the trails.
• Mount Si: If you are looking to enjoy a proper hike, there is no doubt that Mount Si presents a great challenge for some, but it is also the preserve of casual walkers as well.
• Burke Gilman Trail: If walking is not really your thing and you would prefer to get on two wheels, there are 27 miles to enjoy that take you through the northern neighborhoods.
• Washington State Ferries: Getting out onto the water is a must when you are in Seattle, and you can travel to one of two islands that are just a short boat ride away.
• Stevens Pass: If you are in town for a little longer and would like to enjoy some winter sports, you can work your way down the two mountains located in this area.
• Olympic Sculpture Park: This downtown spot allows you to appreciate and enjoy some incredible outdoor works of art. It is more than worth enjoying for yourself.

Culture and Entertainment in Seattle and Beyond

Seattle has plenty of landmarks that will already be well-known to you and some that you may not have heard of before. When you stay at our host hotel, you can rest assured that you can easily access many of the most famous and celebrated attractions.

• Space Needle: Piercing up into the sky, there is no doubt that the Space Needle is the iconic symbol of this city, and it is worth fully appreciating it by taking a trip to the top of it to see the famous Seattle skyline.
• Seattle Center Monorail: Taking a trip on the monorail is another of the great adventures that you can enjoy in Seattle on a special route that weaves through the heart of the city.
•  Museum of Pop Culture: If you want to get away from the traditional art galleries and science museums, this gives you a unique insight into the modern world and everything that has helped shape it.
• Chihuly Garden and Glass: Dedicated to the hugely talented local-born artist Dale Chihuly, there is no doubt that you can see some incredible works of art right here.

Pacific Northwest Ballet: In terms of cultural attractions, you cannot experience much better than a trip to the ballet to see their take on both classic and contemporary shows.
