Title: The Pearl Of The Pacific Northwest: Seattle Travel Information

Author: Elyse Morgan

Article:
The keystone of Puget Sound's commerce and the origin of many
alternative American trends is none other than the bustling
Emerald City of Seattle. Secure your airfare to Seattle with
cFares and discover why Bill Gates, Starbucks, Nirvana and the
Space Needle made this metropolis their home. Travel in Seattle
is as dynamic and diverse as its inhabitants. Enjoy the theater,
mountain biking and the fish market all in one day with time
left over to indulge in some excellent seafood dining.

Seattle quickly capitalized on the Yukon Gold Rush that swept
the nation by establishing itself as the banking center for the
newfound funds of the Pacific Northwest. This trend did not
cease over the centuries as Seattle has become synonymous with
major tech firms such as Boeing, Microsoft and <A

now visible in the many public arts and architecture projects
that have been established in recent years as well as the
proliferation of fine and modern arts museums and performance
art funding.

Get Out and About the Rainy City

Just as much as Seattlites seem to work, they love to get
outdoors, rain or shine. Seattle offers an incredible Parks
System for such a metropolitan city. Get your bearings in Kerry
Park with its infamous view of Seattle's skyline. Locate the
Space Needle against the backdrop of Mt. Rainier and the rest of
the Olympic Range. Take a jog along the Puget Sound at Golden
Gardens Park, one of the last beaches that still allows
bonfires, or you can cycle around the serenely quite Elliott Bay
in Myrtle Edwards Park. Seattle also provides easy access to
Washington's Olympic National Park, which offers all kinds of
recreational activities amid breathtaking lush green scenery.

Several specialized tours are offered of Seattle's many sights
and sounds. One of the more interesting is the Seattle
Underground Tour, which leads you through Seattle's "basement"
underneath Pioneer Square. Between the resistant swamp lands and
a fire that completely destroyed downtown in 1889, Seattle
rebuilt itself over the original city layout (this time using
brick and steel) creating an actual underground network. Several
cruise lines offer a tour of Seattle's coast or you may choose
to exert yourself a bit more with a kayak tour.

Garage Grunge and Conspicuous Coffee Consumption

Seattle's prosperity may be due in part to the caffeinated
cosmopolites buzzing around the city. Thanks to the
establishment of Starbucks, Seattle's Best and Tully's, Seattle
quickly became the coffee capital of the country. The first
Starbucks store is still a block away from the touristy Pike
Place Market, where the famed fish merchants will toss your
order to you, giving a whole new meaning to flying fish.

Seattle is also the birthplace to the popular Grunge movement,
spawning Nirvana and a whole string of bands with similar sound
and style. Cafés spotlighting free-styling poets and off-beat
monologue performances sprouted out of the Grunge scene and
still fill the Seattle air with funky lyrics and indie beats
today.

Seattle today is an eclectic mix of high-tech industry,
commercial consumerism, counterculture trends and (thankfully)
Bill Gate's generosity.
