During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Seattle Central Library
It isn't often that the library is considered one of the coolest joints in town, but Seattle's new downtown library, opened in summer 2004, is such an architectural wonder that it has been the talk of the town. Now, not all that talk has been positive -- but I'll leave it to you to decide whether you love it or hate it. There doesn't seem to be any middle ground with this giant glass cube and its diamond-patterned steel girders and strange angles. Regardless of your reaction to architect Rem Koolhaas's design, you can't help but notice that in a town known for its gray skies, this library abounds in natural light. There are also colorful spongy chairs, floors of bamboo and brushed metal, carpets printed to look like plants, and a garden designed to meld with the carpets. Oh, and if you need to use the Internet, this place has hundreds of computer terminals, too.
Frye Art Museum
Located on First Hill not far from downtown Seattle, this museum is primarily an exhibit space for the extensive personal art collection of Charles and Emma Frye, Seattle pioneers who began collecting art in the 1890s. The collection focuses on late-19th-century and early-20th-century representational art by European and American painters, with works by Andrew Wyeth, Thomas Hart Benton, Edward Hopper, Albert Bierstadt, and Pablo Picasso, as well as a large collection of engravings by Winslow Homer. In addition to galleries filled with works from the permanent collection, temporary exhibitions are held throughout the year.
Seattle Center
If you want to keep the kids entertained all day long, head to Seattle Center. This 74-acre cultural center and amusement park stands on the northern edge of downtown at the end of the monorail line. The most visible building at the center is the Space Needle, which provides an outstanding panorama of the city from its observation deck. However, of much more interest to children are the Fun Forest (tel. 206/728-1586; www.funforest.com), with its roller coaster, log flume, merry-go-round, Ferris wheel, arcade games, and minigolf; the Children's Museum ; and Seattle Children's Theatre (tel. 206/441-3322; www.sct.org). This is also Seattle's main festival site, and in the summer months hardly a weekend goes by without some special event filling its grounds. On hot summer days the International Fountain is a great place for kids to keep cool (bring a change of clothes).
The Edgewater
Located on a pier at the north end of the waterfront, the Edgewater is Seattle's only hotel situated directly on the bay and was designed to resemble a deluxe mountain or fishing lodge. In fact, it's difficult to believe that the crowded streets of the city are only steps away. The views out the windows are among the best in Seattle, and the sunsets are memorable. On a clear day, you can see the Olympic Mountains across Puget Sound. Pull up a seat between the lobby's river-stone fireplace and the wall of glass that looks out on Elliott Bay, and you'll see why this is one of my favorite Seattle hotels. The restaurant and lounge also serve up those same views. The mountain-lodge theme continues in the rooms, which feature rustic fireplaces and lodgepole-pine furniture. The least expensive units here overlook the city (and the parking lot), so it's worth it to spring for a water view. The rooms with balconies are a bit smaller than other rooms, but are my top choice. Beatles fans can even stay in the same suite the Fab Four had when they visited back in 1964.
Fairmont Olympic Hotel
If nothing but classically elegant surroundings will do, then head straight for the Fairmont Olympic Hotel, a gorgeous facsimile of an Italian Renaissance palace. Without a doubt, this hotel has the grandest lobby in Seattle. Gilt-and-crystal chandeliers hang from the arched ceiling, while ornate moldings grace the glowing hand-burnished oak walls and pillars. Although many of the guest rooms tend to be rather small (with either two twin beds or one king bed), all are very elegant. If you crave extra space, opt for one of the suites, of which there are more than 200 (however, be aware that the executive suites aren't much bigger than the hotel's deluxe rooms). The Georgian is the most elegant restaurant in Seattle, with a menu that combines creative Northwest and Continental cuisines. For plush surroundings, excellent service, and great amenities, this hotel can't be beat.Facilities: 2 restaurants (Continental/Northwest, seafood); lounge; health club with indoor pool, exercise machines, Jacuzzi, and saunas; spa; children's programs; concierge; downtown courtesy car; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; massage; laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms.
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.
