During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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 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.
Pacific Science Center
Although its exhibits are aimed primarily at children, the Pacific Science Center is fun for all ages. The main goal of this sprawling complex at Seattle Center is to teach kids about science and to instill a desire to study it. To that end, there are life-size robotic dinosaurs, a butterfly house and insect village (with giant robotic insects), a Tech Zone where kids can play virtual-reality soccer or challenge a robot to tic-tac-toe, and dozens of other fun hands-on exhibits addressing the biological sciences, physics, and chemistry. The August Bubble Festival is always a big hit. There's a planetarium for learning about the skies (plus laser shows for the fun of it), plus an IMAX theater. Be sure to check the schedule for special exhibits when you're in town.
Summerfield Suites by Wyndham
Located just a block uphill from the Washington State Convention and Trade Center, this hotel caters primarily to business travelers who need a bit of extra room for getting work done while in town. At the same time, the hotel is about equidistant between the waterfront and the hip Capitol Hill shopping and nightlife district, which makes it a good choice if you're just here for fun. The suites are well laid out and have full kitchens, so you can save on restaurant bills (maybe do some shopping at Pike Place Market). Many rooms have good views that take in the Space Needle, but be aware that a good number also get traffic noise from both the freeway and Pike Street. The pool, though tiny, is on a pleasant terrace in an attractively landscaped courtyard area.
Hotel Monaco
Housed in a building that was once a telephone company switching center, the Monaco is one of downtown Seattle's hippest business hotels, attracting a young and affluent clientele. If you appreciate cutting-edge style, you'll go for the eclectic, over-the-top, retro-contemporary design here. The lobby has reproductions of ancient Greek murals; in the guest rooms, you'll find wild color schemes, bold striped wallpaper, stereos with CD players, and leopard-print terry-cloth robes. For a view of Mount Rainier, ask for room no. 1019, 1119, or 1219. Miss your pet back home? Call the front desk, and a staff member will send up a pet goldfish for the night. Sazerac, the hotel's New American restaurant, is as boldly designed as the rest of the place. Be sure to order the restaurant's namesake cocktail at the adjacent bar.
College Inn
Built in 1909 for the Alaska-Yukon Exposition, this Tudor Revival building has loads of character and a great location right across the street from the University of Washington campus. That said, I really only recommend the College Inn for young travelers. All of its rooms have shared bathrooms, and the inn itself, as with many budget accommodations in Europe, is up a couple of steep flights of stairs. If you plan to bring a lot of luggage, this place is not for you. The decor is a bit funky, but the young visitors who tend to find this inn don't seem to mind. Rooms range from tiny to spacious; all have washbasins. Downstairs in the same building are a cafe and a pub. Parking can be a problem here, so this is a good bet for anyone traveling without a car; there's good bus service into downtown.
