I plan to visit Seattle by bus (bolt bus, arrived at 5th Ave South @ S.King St) but I'll have only half day for this trip. I'll arrive about noon and my key attractions are focusing on Pike Place Market (to visit 1st shop of Starbuck) and Space Needle. So, my questons;
1. How can I get a monorail from my bus stop (king street)?
2. Where should be the 1st place to visit?
3. Any other recommended places to fit with my plan?

Thank you very much.

Hello,
I will have a group of 13 people arriving from Vancouver to Seattle via the Amtrak Cascades train in June. Arrival at the train station is scheduled for 10:10PM Saturday night. We have an early flight from Seatac at 7AM the next morning. I really don't want to spend money for hotel rooms for just 3 or 4 hours of sleep. So, I am looking for transportation suggestions from train station to Seatac and any other ideas about what to do until time to check in for flights.
Thanks,
Bruce

Hello

Now, I am planning to travel in Wa state and Id in 2014 (yes I am not late...) We will land in Seattle and I foresee to stay 3 days in this city and I am searching a hotel with the following criteria : - In downtown, not far from Pike Place - Between 100 to 200$ per night - With an internet connection - With a parking included or not within the price. - Breakfast in the hotel is not an issue if there are restaurants open early in the morning at a working distance.

Thanks a lot for your advices.

I recently returned from a visit to Washington, fantastic time! We observed the tide pools at Rialto Beach at low tide. Many starfish, sea urchins, mussels were seen on the rocks. A friend would like to do a similar trip in April. I know the temps will be much lower, can the sea life still be observed on the rocks? Thanks!

We are hoping to fly into Seattle mid october for 7 days. We would really like to go and see Mount Rainier and North Cascades National Parks.

Has anyone been on the following tours? a. music ........ if so what type of music did they focus on? b. private eye Are these tours worth it? Where is the Northwest Native Cultural Center?

I'm not a local but, living in Vancouver, BC, I've had many an occasion to visit the Emerald City and environs. In the last week of January I'm going to be house-sitting for a friend in Woodinville. I'll be bringing my new camera along and would love to get tips from locals about interesting places to go to photograph. Put another way, if you had a friend come to visit and they insisted that you only take them to places off of the beaten path, where would you go? Robert
