During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

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.

Museum of Flight
Located right next door to Boeing Field, an active airport 15 minutes south of downtown Seattle, this museum will have aviation buffs walking on air. Housed inside the six-story glass-and-steel repository are some of history's most famous planes.To start things off, there's a replica of the Wright brothers' first glider, and from there the collection of planes brings you to the present state of flight. Suspended in the Great Hall are more than 20 planes, including a 1935 DC-3, the first Air Force F-5 supersonic fighter, and the Gossamer Condor, a human-powered airplane. The new Personal Courage Wing houses 28 World War I and World War II fighter planes. You'll see one of the famous Blackbird spy planes, which at one time were the world's fastest jets (you can even sit in the cockpit of one of these babies), as well as a rare World War II Corsair fighter that was rescued from Lake Washington and restored to its original glory. Visitors also get to board a retired British Airways Concorde supersonic airliner that recently went on display here. An exhibit on the U.S. space program features an Apollo command module. Of course, you'll also see plenty of Boeing planes, including a reproduction of Boeing's first plane, which was built in 1916. The museum also incorporates part of Boeing's old wooden factory building from its early years.While any air-and-space museum lets you look at mothballed planes, not many have their own air-traffic control tower and let you watch aircraft taking off and landing at an active airfield. During the summer months, biplane rides are usually offered from in front of the museum.The Museum of Flight Restoration Center (tel. 425/745-5150) is located north of Seattle at Paine Field, which is near the city of Everett. Here you'll see planes in various stages of restoration. The center is open Tuesday through Thursday from 8am to 4pm and Saturday from 9am to 5pm. Call for directions. Paine Field is also where you'll find the Boeing Tour Center. Together, these two make a fascinating half-day outing.

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.

LaQuinta elevators

Steven

McCormick and Schmick, Harborside on Lake Union ...beautiful view in all directions...parking is not free

The two elevators in this property were unforgettable. The vibration was intense when the doors closed. We opted for the stairs quite often. On one occasion we were determined to take the elevator that opened despite the fact that the metal piece of vertical molding fell across the opening diagonally barring our entry as the doors opened. Just put it back and continued on. The elevators were a good indicator that some refurbishment was necessary. The driveway to underground parking was like an off-road, narrow trek. In all fairness, it was next to a constuction site behind the property. The parking was free. The room was OK, nothing special, spacious and clean. Stay again? Maybe because of location. Really liked the two computers provided just off the lobby. Made good use of them for learning bus routes and finding more info on places we wanted to go since this was our first visit to downtown Seattle which we really enjoyed.

Lots of Extras

Anonymous

The LaQuinta Inn was easily accessible to and from our destination. The room was large with 2 queen beds and extras such as a refrigerator and microwave.I especially liked the fact that there were two sinks, one in the bathroom and another just outside the bathroom door which made it convenient for two people. Parking on the street level was limited with small spaces but additional parking was available in the underground parking garage.

Very nice place for your dollar

Susan, Seattle, WA, 2007-03-11

The LaQuinta Inn was very comfortable. We found the location of the hotel to be very convienent. Within walking distance to the Seattle Center and the Paramount Theatre. It was a very close drive from the hotel to the waterfront. The rooms were very comfortable and adequate space for two people.

Safe feeling in a big city

david, 2007-03-11

We felt very comforable in this hotel. Disappointed that it did not have a pool, but other than that the staff and hotel were very impressive. Quiet and very restful. Staff very helpful with directions on how to get around the city and assisted us to find what we needed in the city. Best of luck to them. They were having some construction going on but they made sure that it did not enter fear with your stay. Also they were very accommidating because our pick up truck was taller than their parking garage and they had very little other parking, but the worked it out so that we could park in the parking lot next door and they reimbursed us at the end of our stay. They were wonderful. I highly recommend this hotel and it is a short walk to the needle.

Good to downtown attractions

Anonymous, 2007-02-18

Within about 10 blocks space needle, Museum, downtown,convention center, Pikes Market, monorail and numberous attractions.

Service, quality and cleanliness of room was very good. A good view of city and space needle from our vantage. Only minor,temporary,disadvantage was the blockage of hotel parking lot due to construction on adjacent property. There was a paid public parking adjacent to hotel available and cost was reimbursted by hotel for the inconvience due to construction and blockage to their parking lot.

Homey place for a traveler

Howard, Philadelphia, PA, 2006-12-28

The Space Needle and Pacific Science Center are a short walk from the hotel. Downtown Shopping and restaurants are a short drive or cabride.

The room was significantly larger than I expected. The free wi-fi service was a plus that I used regularly. The Free Parking was a welcome change. The staff was at all times courteous and friendly. The fitness room was acceptable, but the steam room was not working. The breakfast room was comfortable and the morning breakfast offered a wide-range of food from whatever you would get in your favorite eatery to the most healthful. Making your own waffles in 2 minutes was also fun. The food included a plate of chocolate chip cookies at night. The hotel was well-located, whether you go downtown to Pike's Market. walk a few blocks to the Space Needle, or want to drive out to the mountains. I would recommend this hotel to other travelers and plan on staying there in the future on my regular trips to Seattle.

Great location

Anonymous, Newark, NJ, 2006-11-26

I liked the hotel as a whole. It is very economical. The location is great. Continental breakfast is convenient considering in a city that everything is for sale. Parking is fee, which is a big plus. Room is relatively small. However compared to the price, nothing to complain...

Nice downtown location

Anonymous, 2006-11-06

No need to drive -- catch the bus for less than $1.50, each way. The Space Needle is just a walk away.

The room seemed to have been recently redone and was quite nice. The room had a separate vanity area, which was convenient. For convenience, the room camd equipped with a hair dryer, iron and ironing board, and a coffee maker. There was a desk/writing area, as well as a small refrigerator and a television.
