Fun Facts About Seattle
Of course, you would certainly be missing out if you didn’t explore the city of Seattle while there.
For instance:
- One cannot enter Seattle and not notice the Space Needle. It is the official city landmark and the most recognizable location in Seattle. Just seeing it from below is great, but you could go a step further and go to the top if you are interested.
- If you love Starbucks, you are in luck. Seattle is the birthplace of the entire chain! You can visit the very first Starbucks and pick up a one of a kind coffee mug to commemorate the experience and, you know, get some coffee.
- You may be surprised to know this, but Seattle was actually built on top of another city. And that underground city has become a major tourist attraction. Be sure to check it out.
