Lying close to the Pacific north west coast of the United States of America, and within easy striking distance of British Columbia in Canada, many people flood into Seattle every year in order to experience the unique atmosphere of one of America's most exciting and diverse cities.
With an atmosphere unlike the rest of the country, the urban alienation and isolation of Seattle has created a thriving arts scene that spawned the disenfranchised likes of Nirvana and Jimi Hendrix, Seattle has a reputation for rain and liberalism that have made it a place unlike any other.
The home of pompous psychiatrist Frasier in the television comedy series of the same name, Seattle is a city which offers a great mix of sight seeing, high culture, and throwaway Americana, as well as being a place to relax and enjoy yourself.
The iconic skyline of the city can be seen on mugs and paper cups all around the world as the logo of the Seattle Coffee Company, and the city's most famous building, the Space Needle, can be climbed in order to see some fantastic views of Seattle and the surrounding area.
Not far away, the stunning scenery of the Rocky Mountains offers winter visitors the chance to enjoy skiing at top class resorts like Crystal Mountain, whilst in summer the mountains can be enjoyed on foot or mountain bike as part of an active holiday.
Cheap flights to Seattle are available throughout the year, and many people travel to Seattle in order to hire a car to explore British Columbia in Canada, as travelling to Seattle, and entering the country by road can work out costing less than flying straight to Vancouver.
