During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Burke Museum
Located at the northwest corner of the University of Washington campus, the Burke Museum features exhibits on the natural and cultural heritage of the Pacific Rim. Permanent exhibits include Life & Times, which covers 500 million years of Washington history (and prehistory) with lots of fossils, including a complete mastodon, on display. The second permanent exhibit, Pacific Voices, focuses on the many cultures of the Pacific Rim and their connections to Washington State. There is also a smaller temporary-exhibit gallery. In front of the museum stand three modern totem poles carved in the style of the 1870s and 1880s.
Soundbridge Seattle Symphony Music Discovery Center
Perhaps you're an accomplished musician but have always longed to conduct an orchestra, or perhaps you've never had much musical talent at all but dream of playing the cello like Yo-Yo Ma. At this fascinating little music exploration center, you can at least see what it feels like to be first chair in the string section of the symphony. Not only is there a listening bar with more than 500 classical recordings, but there are also interactive exhibits that let you play a cello, tickle the ivories, or conduct a virtual orchestra. There's an exhibit on the science of music as well.
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.
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.
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.
W Seattle
The W hotel chain has won plenty of national attention and devoted fans for its oh-so-hip accommodations, and here in the land of espresso and high-tech, the W is a natural. The lobby has the look and feel of a stage set, with dramatic lighting and sleek furniture, and in the evenings the space transforms into a trendy lounge where Seattleites and visitors come to see and be seen. Rooms are not only beautifully designed and filled with plush amenities, but also tend to be larger than those at other W hotels. They're full of great perks, such as Aveda bath products, goose-down comforters, and CD players (there's a CD library from which you can borrow discs). Although the -09 and -02 "Cool Corner" rooms cost a bit more than regular units, they are worth requesting. The Earth & Ocean restaurant is one of downtown's best and is by far its most stylish. The W also has an extensive array of amenities for your dog or cat, if yours happens to be traveling with you. Definitely the coolest hotel in Seattle.
