Seattle

Pros: Ocean, Proximity To Canada, Close To Portland, OR, Great Entertainment, Friendly City
Cons: Horrible Traffic

Seattle is a unique and fun place. There's always something fun to do. I've visited Seattle at least once every year of my life. I go there a lot more now that I'm only 3 hours away. Mariner's games and friends draw me back to one of my favorite ...

Pros: The rain, the haircuts, the ideologies
Cons: the roads, the traffic and the driving

No longer living in the Bible-suspenders

Having relocated to the Seattle area some months ago, it has been twenty years since I have spent a Christmas time outside of the south-mid-girdle of our nation. It was always more like living...

Pros: A pretty cool experience for airplane buffs.
Cons: It can be loud on the factory floor.

Imagine a building so big, the doors are the size of a football field (and there are 6 of them). Visualize it with a ceiling 11 stories high, and with 98 acres (that’s right, acres) of floor space under its roof – that’s enough room for 74 football...

Pros: Plenty of things to do (indoors & outdoors).
Cons: Besides some rain, not too much bad to say here.....

Ahhhh, Seattle…….Seattle is one of my favorite places to visit in the US, and I'll eventually be moving up there with my wife who is from the area.

So, if you're visiting Seattle, the main question that you’ll have is....."What do you want to...

Pros: Great place to live, visit as a tourist, dine out, and use as a hub for day trips.

Pros: The view, the food, the ambience
Cons: You leave wishing you hadn't eaten so much!

In the north end of Seattle, right on the Puget Sound is a restaurant worth many visits. It's called Azteca. This restaurant is one of many Azteca's, but this one is by far our favorite due to it's location. The restaurant building itself is gorgeous....

Cons: Can Get Pricey

I recently got to visit Seattle on a business trip. Despite the many stories I have heard of the rainy weather and the grumpy people, I was anxious to get out there. Lucky for me, I also managed to have a couple of days for myself to explore the city ...

Pros: Most beautiful city on earth!!
Cons: None... it is fantastic!!

Note: this opinion is part of a write-off of "Favorite American City." I want to thank Elorraine for inviting me to participate when she saw a comment I left on a review that I did not particularly care for write-offs! Guess what! It was fun!!...

Pros: beautiful melding of city and nature
Cons: I guess the rain could be annoying

I arrived in Seattle at 12am just as the sun was disappearing behind the cloudy horizon. The Greyhound bus was swooping down from the Cascades into the sparkling emerald lights of the city and I was fascinated. Literally fascinated. Since I was a child...

Pros: Spectacular scenery, vast number of attractions for the entire family
Cons: possible injuries from flying seafood

During our short time living in Washington, we have quickly fallen in love with the area. Washington is overflowing with beautiful scenery, friendly people, and an endless variety of things to do. One of my family’s favorite day trips is to take the...

Pros: Views of the surrounding mountains and Puget Sound
Cons: The gray days, and the crazy traffic

Rainy Seattle. That’s what everyone thinks, but I promise, it really doesn’t rain here as much as people think... however, we do have a high number of cloudy, gray days. Seattle is a beautiful city year round, but during the summer on clear warm sunny...

Pros: Huge variety of places to eat and some of the best Asian food around
Cons: With so many eateries, some are bound to suck

If there's one thing I like more while traveling than getting myself immersed in big city culture, it's eating.

That's right. I'm a pig.

I never can stop looking forward to the next new meal to excite my tastebuds, and the...

Pros: Great seafood, lots to do
Cons: Can you bear the rain?

I have had the pleasure of visiting Seattle twice, both times in 1995, for business. If there were one place I could return to now, with my family, it would be Seattle. Unfortunately, I might not have the opportunity to do it like I did in ’95… for...
