Journey to Seattle
Getting There
Set up home base in Seattle by flying into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and driving about 13 miles north to downtown.
What to See and Do in Seattle
Start your journey through the Emerald City by driving to the Space Needle for a bird’s-eye view of Seattle 500 feet below through the world’s only rotating glass floor — part of a recently completed $100 million “space-lift” on the beloved landmark. Next door, discover the Chihuly Garden & Glass exhibit, where you can explore breathtaking displays of botanicals and glass sculptures. Tucked in the center of the city, this unique indoor-outdoor setting features eight galleries, a lush garden and the centerpiece Glasshouse.
