During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Children's Museum
The Children's Museum is located in the basement of the Center House at Seattle Center, which is partly why Seattle Center is such a great place to spend a day with the kids. The museum includes plenty of hands-on cultural exhibits, a child-size neighborhood, a Discovery Bay for toddlers, a mountain wilderness area, a global village, and other special exhibits to keep the little ones busy learning and playing for hours.
The Space Needle
From a distance it resembles a flying saucer on top of a tripod, and when it was built for the 1962 World's Fair, the 605-foot-tall Space Needle was meant to suggest future architectural trends. Today the Space Needle is the quintessential symbol of Seattle, and at 520 feet above ground level, its observation deck provides superb views of the city and its surroundings. Displays identify more than 60 sites and activities in the Seattle area, and high-powered telescopes let you zoom in on distant sights. You'll also find a pricey restaurant, SkyCity, atop the tower. If you don't mind standing in line and paying quite a bit for an elevator ride, make this your first stop in Seattle so that you can orient yourself. There are, however, cheaper alternatives if you just want a view of the city.
Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art
If you're a doll collector or happen to be traveling with a child who likes playing with dolls, this Bellevue museum should definitely be part of your Seattle itinerary. Displays include more than 3,000 dolls from around the world, including 17th-century wooden dolls, 19th-century china dolls, and the original Barbie. Throughout the year, the museum has special exhibits that focus on different types of dolls.
Executive Pacific Plaza Hotel
There aren't too many reasonably priced choices left in downtown Seattle, but this hotel, built in 1928, offers not only moderately priced rooms but also a prime location -- halfway between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, and just about the same distance from the waterfront. Over the past few years, the hotel has undergone an extensive renovation that has updated the rooms and given the lobby a very stylish and contemporary look. However, the rooms are still small (verging on tiny) and sometimes quite cramped. Consequently, I recommend this place primarily for solo travelers. Also, be aware that the hotel has no air-conditioning, and west-facing rooms can get warm in summer. Bathrooms, although very small, have been completely upgraded. Currently, the rates here are only slightly higher than at motels near the Space Needle, which makes this place a great deal.
The Inn at Virginia Mason
You may think we've sent you to a hospital rather than a hotel when you first arrive at this older establishment on Pill Hill -- but don't have a heart attack. This is definitely a hotel, though it is adjacent to and managed by the Virginia Mason Hospital. Despite the fact that most guests are here because of the hospital, the hotel is a good choice for vacationers as well. Rates are economical, the location is quiet, and you're close to downtown. There's a rooftop deck and a shady little courtyard just off the lobby. Although the carpets and furniture here are in need of replacement, the rooms are still serviceable. Because this is an old building, room sizes vary, but most have large closets, modern bathrooms, and wingback chairs. Deluxe rooms and suites can be quite large, and some have whirlpool baths and fireplaces. The Inn at Virginia Mason also keeps good company: The Sorrento Hotel, a great place to stop in for a drink, is only a block away.
Pensione Nichols
It's never easy finding economical downtown-area lodging with character, but that's exactly what you'll find at this European-style B&B, located in the heart of Pike Place Market. It's a popular choice with younger travelers and families. The budget-priced units with shared bathroom are all on the third floor of the building, and though most of the eclectically furnished rooms don't have windows, they do have skylights. However, most guests spend their time in the comfortable lounging area, with huge windows overlooking Elliott Bay. If you want to splurge, the two suites are quite large and have private bathrooms and windows with water views. Be prepared to climb a lot of stairs.
