Mary Stover's Perfect Days
Seattle On a Duck's BackMost experienced travelers will tell you that the best way to see a big city is on a guided tour. It's especially helpful to get your bearings, see the entire city area and know what parts you want to revisit. In Seattle, that story is no different.
Quaint and Quirky Port TownsendPort Townsend, sits on the tip of the Quimper Sound, just outside of Seattle and has been delighting visitors for decades. Visiting this funky little town is very easy to do and easy to get to; via ferry and then a short drive. When heading to Port Townsend, prepare to savor some great eats, and take in some of the best sights in the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle’s Pike PlaceIf you ask the right person, any day in Seattle is a great day. They of course may add, "that is, if it's not raining." No matter how you get there, whether bus, car, ferry, or foot - downtown Seattle has everything you need for a grand day out in the Northwest - rain or shine.
