When In Seattle . . .
Seattle is the essence of cool. It’s beautiful, but not cocky about it. The natural beauty of the city is what really makes it stand out. It’s a city filled with history from its founding to its stellar music scene. Let’ not forget it is the U.S. capital of coffee. Seattle’s more than just what it reveals on the surface.
