During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Kubota Garden
Located in South Seattle in a working-class neighborhood not far from the shores of Lake Washington, this 20-acre Japanese-style garden was the life's work of garden designer Fujitaro Kubota. Today the gardens are a city park, and the mature landscaping and hilly setting make this the most impressive and enjoyable Japanese garden in the Seattle area. Kubota began work on this garden in 1927, and over the years built a necklace of ponds, a traditional stroll garden, and a mountainside garden complete with waterfalls. A tall, arched moon bridge is a highlight. The self-taught Kubota went on to design gardens at Seattle University and at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. Between April and October, free tours of the gardens are offered at 10am on the fourth Saturday of the month.
Nordic Heritage Museum
Housed in a former school building, this is primarily a neighborhood museum that focuses on the experiences of Scandinavian immigrants in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. However, it also mounts exhibits of Scandinavian and Scandinavian-inspired art, and these temporary exhibits are what make this little museum worth seeking out for those who aren't of Scandinavian heritage. The Dream of America exhibit on the first floor does an excellent job of explaining why Scandinavians began immigrating to the United States and how they ended up settling in Ballard. Up on the third floor, each of the Nordic countries gets a display room of its own. In mid-July each year, the museum sponsors the Tivoli/Viking Days festival, which includes booths serving Nordic foods.
Henry Art Gallery
The focus of the Henry Art Gallery, located on the west side of the UW campus, is on contemporary art with retrospectives of individual artists, as well as exhibits focusing on specific themes or media. The museum benefits from large, well-lit gallery spaces illuminated by pyramidal and cubic skylights that can be seen near the main entrance. Photography and video are both well represented, and for the most part, the exhibits are the most avant-garde in the Seattle area. The museum's latest cutting-edge installation is Skyspace, by James Turrell, who uses light to create his artwork. The Skyspace is a small room with an oval opening in the ceiling to frame the sky. At night, the outside of the glass Skyspace is illuminated by an ever-changing light show. The museum also has a cafe and a small sculpture courtyard. Parking is often available at the Central Parking Garage, at NE 41st Street and 15th Avenue NE. Expect the unexpected here -- and prepare to be challenged in your concept of what constitutes art.
Hosteling International--Seattle
This conveniently located hostel, housed in the former Longshoreman's Hall, which was built in 1915, is popular with young European and Japanese travelers. It's right between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, only 2 blocks away from the waterfront, which makes it very convenient for exploring downtown Seattle. A kitchen and luggage-storage facility make this a solid budget alternative. Some of the hostel's rooms even have views of Puget Sound. To get here, walk down Post Alley, which runs through and under Pike Place Market, to the corner of Union Street.
Inn at the Market
For romance, convenience, and the chance to immerse yourself in the Seattle aesthetic, it's hard to beat this small, European-style hotel located right in Pike Place Market. A rooftop deck overlooking the harbor provides a tranquil spot to soak up the sun on summer afternoons and further adds to this hotel's distinctive sense of place. Don't look for a grand entrance or large sign here; there's only a small plaque on the wall to indicate that the building houses a tasteful and understated luxury hotel. To make the most of a stay here, be sure to ask for one of the water-view rooms, which have wide bay windows that overlook Puget Sound. But even if you don't get a water-view room, you'll still find spacious accommodations, with mold-to-your-body Tempur-Pedic beds, large bathrooms, and elegant decor that gives the feel of an upscale European beach resort. Campagne, the formal main dining room, serves excellent southern French fare, while Café Campagne offers country-style French food amid casual surroundings.
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.
