We live not too far away from Seattle, so we’re pretty lucky in that sense. It’s a city that makes you go “ahhh” when you get there. Hip, inclusive, bohemian and edgy all at once, it’s a great way to discover this part (Pacific Northwest) of North America. And some of the best of Seattle is in its activities. Here are just a few.
