During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Seattle Asian Art Museum
Housed in a renovated Art Deco building in Volunteer Park, the Asian art collection places an emphasis on Chinese and Japanese art, but also includes works from Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Himalayas. Among the museum's most notable pieces are the Chinese terra-cotta funerary art, Chinese snuff bottles, and Japanese netsukes (belt decorations). One room is devoted to Japanese ceramics, while three rooms are devoted to Chinese ceramics. The central hall contains stone religious sculptures of South Asia (primarily India). The museums hosts frequent lectures and concerts.
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.
Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI)
If the Seattle Underground Tour's vivid description of life before the 1889 fire has you curious about what the city's more respectable citizens were doing back in those days, you can find out here, where re-created storefronts provide glimpses into their lives. Located at the north end of the Washington Park Arboretum, this museum explores Seattle's history with frequently changing exhibits on more obscure aspects of the city's past. While many of the displays will be of interest only to local residents, anyone wishing to gain a better understanding of the history of the city and the Northwest may also enjoy the exhibits here. There's a Boeing mail plane from the 1920s, plus an exhibit on the 1889 fire that leveled the city. MOHAI also hosts touring exhibitions that address Northwest history. Although not actually in north Seattle, this museum is just across the Montlake Bridge from the University District. Beginning in April 2005, the museum will have an exhibit on Lewis and Clark.
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.
Mercer Island Travelodge
Located in the affluent Eastside suburb of Mercer Island, which is reached via the I-90 floating bridge, this motel is old but well maintained. Unless it's rush hour, the Travelodge is very convenient to downtown Seattle, which is about 10 minutes away. There are several restaurants and cafes within a few blocks, and right across the street is a walking/biking path that crosses the island and then continues across the floating bridge. Families traveling on a budget, take note: This motel has a special kids' room.
Inn at Harbor Steps
Situated on the lower floors of a modern apartment building across the street from the Seattle Art Museum, this inn offers an excellent location that's convenient to all of downtown Seattle's major attractions. The guest rooms, which overlook a courtyard garden, are spacious enough that they feel like apartments. The furnishings are surprisingly classical and lend these rooms a very comfortable and homey feel. Every unit has a gas fireplace; the largest rooms have whirlpool tubs. The only real drawback here is the lack of views. Located in the same building as the hotel is the Wolfgang Puck Café, featuring contemporary food and decor, plus water views.
