During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Nordic Heritage Museum
Housed in a former school building, this is primarily a neighborhood museum that focuses on the experiences of Scandinavian immigrants in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. However, it also mounts exhibits of Scandinavian and Scandinavian-inspired art, and these temporary exhibits are what make this little museum worth seeking out for those who aren't of Scandinavian heritage. The Dream of America exhibit on the first floor does an excellent job of explaining why Scandinavians began immigrating to the United States and how they ended up settling in Ballard. Up on the third floor, each of the Nordic countries gets a display room of its own. In mid-July each year, the museum sponsors the Tivoli/Viking Days festival, which includes booths serving Nordic foods.
Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
"At 3 o'clock this morning the steamship Portland, from St. Michaels for Seattle, passed up (Puget) Sound with more than a ton of gold on board and 68 passengers." When the Seattle Post-Intelligencer published that sentence on July 17, 1897, it started a stampede. Would-be miners heading for the Klondike goldfields in the 1890s made Seattle their outfitting center and helped turn it into a prosperous city. When they struck it rich up north, they headed back to Seattle, the first U.S. outpost of civilization, and unloaded their gold, making Seattle doubly rich. Although this place isn't in the Klondike (that's in Canada) and isn't really a park (it's a single room in an old store), it's still a fascinating little museum, and it seems only fitting that it should be here in Seattle. (Another unit of the park is in Skagway, Alaska.) There are plans to move this facility to a historic building at the corner of South Jackson Street and Second Avenue South, so be sure to call before visiting.
Kubota Garden
Located in South Seattle in a working-class neighborhood not far from the shores of Lake Washington, this 20-acre Japanese-style garden was the life's work of garden designer Fujitaro Kubota. Today the gardens are a city park, and the mature landscaping and hilly setting make this the most impressive and enjoyable Japanese garden in the Seattle area. Kubota began work on this garden in 1927, and over the years built a necklace of ponds, a traditional stroll garden, and a mountainside garden complete with waterfalls. A tall, arched moon bridge is a highlight. The self-taught Kubota went on to design gardens at Seattle University and at the Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. Between April and October, free tours of the gardens are offered at 10am on the fourth Saturday of the month.
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.
Best Western University Tower Hotel
Despite the location away from downtown, this is one of Seattle's hippest hotels and offers excellent value. For these reasons, it's one of my favorite hotels in the city. You'll be surrounded by modern Art Deco style as soon as you arrive, and the retro look is both elegant and playful. You'll even get views of downtown Seattle, distant mountains, and various lakes and waterways. Every room here is a corner unit, which means plenty of space to spread out and plenty of views from the higher floors. Small bathrooms are the biggest drawback. The University Tower Hotel is considerably cheaper than comparable downtown options, and if you need to be near the university, it's definitely the top choice in the neighborhood.
Executive Pacific Plaza Hotel
There aren't too many reasonably priced choices left in downtown Seattle, but this hotel, built in 1928, offers not only moderately priced rooms but also a prime location -- halfway between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, and just about the same distance from the waterfront. Over the past few years, the hotel has undergone an extensive renovation that has updated the rooms and given the lobby a very stylish and contemporary look. However, the rooms are still small (verging on tiny) and sometimes quite cramped. Consequently, I recommend this place primarily for solo travelers. Also, be aware that the hotel has no air-conditioning, and west-facing rooms can get warm in summer. Bathrooms, although very small, have been completely upgraded. Currently, the rates here are only slightly higher than at motels near the Space Needle, which makes this place a great deal.
