15 days in Seattle Itinerary

Nicknamed the "Emerald City" because of its abundant evergreen trees, Seattle is the cultural and business center of the Pacific Northwest, as well as a popular holiday destination.

Venture out of the city with trips to Olympic National Park (Bunch Creek Falls, Lena Lakes, &more), Boeing Future of Flight (in Mukilteo) and Chihuly Bridge of Glass (in Tacoma). Dedicate the 31st (Wed) to wine at some of the top wineries in the area. There's lots more to do: enjoy breathtaking views from Space Needle, work some fitness into your day at Discovery Park, examine the collection at The Museum of Flight, and take a leisurely stroll along Hiram M. Chittenden Locks.
