During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Odyssey Maritime Discovery Center
Sort of an interactive promotion for modern fishing and shipping, this facility at the north end of the Seattle waterfront is aimed primarily at kids and has more than 40 hands-on exhibits highlighting Seattle's modern working waterfront and its links to the sea. Exhibits include a kid-size fishing boat, a virtual kayak trip through Puget Sound, and a live radar center that allows you to track the movement of vessels in Elliott Bay. In another exhibit, you get to use a simulated crane to practice loading a scale model of a cargo ship.
Soundbridge Seattle Symphony Music Discovery Center
Perhaps you're an accomplished musician but have always longed to conduct an orchestra, or perhaps you've never had much musical talent at all but dream of playing the cello like Yo-Yo Ma. At this fascinating little music exploration center, you can at least see what it feels like to be first chair in the string section of the symphony. Not only is there a listening bar with more than 500 classical recordings, but there are also interactive exhibits that let you play a cello, tickle the ivories, or conduct a virtual orchestra. There's an exhibit on the science of music as well.
Chapel of St. Ignatius
Lest you think subtlety is a concept unknown to architects commissioned to design contemporary buildings in Seattle, pay a visit to this tasteful little chapel on the campus of Seattle University, a Catholic institution. Designed by architect Steven Holl, the chapel was conceived as "seven bottles of light in a stone box," with each of those bottles of light reflecting an aspect of Catholic worship. The "bottles" are basically ways of channeling light into the chapel, and though the exterior seems rather stark and angular, on the inside, soft light in different colors suffuses the rooms. The chapel is something of an exercise in the ways natural light can be used to illuminate a building, and the overall effect is positively enchanting.
Moore Hotel
Located in a historic landmark building 2 blocks from both Pike Place Market and the Belltown restaurant and nightlife district, this hotel has benefited from recent room renovations, making it a good choice for young and adventurous travelers on a tight budget. If you've ever traveled through Europe on the cheap, you'll know what to expect from this place. It's not fancy, and if you aren't in a renovated room on a floor with renovated hallways, the place can seem a bit dreary. However, if you request one of the updated suites, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the stylishly modern large rooms with hardwood floors, full kitchens, and big windows. Ask for a room with a view of Puget Sound. The lobby, with its marble, tiles, and decorative moldings, hints at the Moore's historic character, but beyond that, this is more budget accommodation than historic hotel. There's a hip restaurant/lounge on the premises, as well as an adjacent theater that stages rock concerts. If you want to be in the heart of town at budget rates, this is the place.
The Woodmark Hotel on Lake Washington
Despite all the lakes and bays in the area, Seattle has a surprising dearth of waterfront hotels, which would in itself make the Woodmark recommendable. But this resortlike hotel is so luxurious and in such a beautiful setting that it is the metro area's premier waterfront lodging -- and thus well worth the 20-minute drive from downtown Seattle. Surrounded by a luxury residential community, the Woodmark has the feel of a beach resort and looks out over the very same waters that Bill Gates sees from his nearby Xanadu. There are plenty of lake-view rooms here, although you will pay a premium for them. For less expensive lodging, try the creek-view rooms, which offer a pleasant view of an attractively landscaped little stream. Floor-to-ceiling windows that open are a nice feature on sunny summer days. The hotel's dining room is pricey, but there are several less expensive restaurants in the area. For cocktails and afternoon tea, there's the cozy Library Bar, which often has live piano music in the evenings. Guests can also go out for a complimentary cruise on the hotel's restored 1956 Chris-Craft boat.
Grand Hyatt Seattle
If you're accustomed to staying in only the very finest hotels, book your room here. Luxury and technology merge at this downtown accommodation, which is also the most up-to-the-minute, business-savvy hotel in Seattle. A Willem de Kooning sculpture outside the front door and a spacious lobby full of regionally inspired glass art set the tone the moment you arrive. However, unless you spring for something pricier than the basic "deluxe guest room," you're going to be a bit cramped; the least expensive rooms here are definitely designed for solo business travelers. Each of the rooms and suites is equipped with three phone lines, complimentary high-speed Internet access, two dataports, and an in-room safe large enough for your laptop. The health club is well outfitted, but there's no swimming pool, which means that families might want to opt for the Fairmont instead.
