During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Woodland Park Zoo
Located in north Seattle, this sprawling zoo has outstanding exhibits focusing on Alaska, tropical Asia, the African savanna, and the tropical rainforest. The brown-bear enclosure, one of the zoo's best exhibits, is a very realistic reproduction of an Alaskan stream and hillside. In the savanna, zebras gambol and giraffes graze contentedly near a reproduction of an African village. An elephant forest provides plenty of space for the zoo's pachyderms, and the gorilla and orangutan habitats are also very well done. There's even a large walk-through butterfly house ($2 additional fee) during the summer months. Don't miss the giant Komodo dragons from Indonesia. A farm animal area and petting zoo are big hits with the little ones.
IMAXDome Theater
The IMAX Dome is a movie theater with a 180-degree screen that fills your peripheral vision and puts you right in the middle of the action. This huge wraparound theater is adjacent to the Seattle Aquarium, and for many years now has featured a film about the eruption of Mount St. Helens. Various other special features are screened throughout the year.
Washington Park Arboretum
Acres of trees and shrubs stretch from the far side of Capitol Hill all the way to the Montlake Cut (a canal connecting Lake Washington to Lake Union). Within the 230-acre arboretum are 5,000 varieties of plants and quiet trails that are pleasant throughout the year but become most beautiful in spring, when the azaleas, cherry trees, rhododendrons, and dogwoods are all in bloom. The north end of the arboretum, a marshland that is home to ducks and herons, is popular with bird-watchers as well as kayakers and canoeists. A boardwalk with views across Lake Washington meanders along the waterside in this area (though noise from the adjacent freeway detracts considerably from the experience).
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.
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.
Ace Hotel
Belltown is Seattle's trendiest neighborhood, and the Ace, in the heart of Belltown, is the city's hippest economy hotel -- sort of a B&B (without the breakfast) for young scene makers. White-on-white and stainless steel are the hallmarks of the minimalist decor. There are white TVs, and even the brick walls and wood floors have been painted white. Wall decorations are minimal, except in those rooms with 1970s photo murals of the great outdoors. Platform beds and blankets salvaged from foreign hotels add to the chic feel, as do the tiny stainless-steel sinks and shelves in the rooms with shared bathrooms. Basically, aside from the eight large rooms with private bathrooms (ask about the room with the shower behind the bed), this place is a step above a hostel; it's aimed at the 20- and 30-something crowd out to make the scene in Seattle. Be aware that some walls are paper-thin and the clientele here tends to keep late hours. Don't plan on going to sleep early.
