    What can you say? It's Seattle it's awesome! If you visit the downtown are at night be careful, hipters and homeless are indistinguishable.

    Seattle has some really wonderful hotels. The Hotel Monaco is absolutely fantastic. While staying there with my son, they brought him a coloring book, crayons, a sweet teddy bear AND A GOLDFISH.

    Hotel Sorento, evenings great for cozy meals and singing. Daily for meals, a cozy spot by fireplace and a good book. Don't even have to stay there.

    The W Seattle is truly cool. They have really made an effort to be on trend and innovative. Plus, 24 hour room service & a very comfy chaise lounge!

    The greatest city in the US! Pike place market, downtown, waterfront, the library, safeco field and green lake are must go's.

    Skip the umbrella, rain jacket or coat with hat is easier. If it's windy, you'll be glad to not have an umbrella!
