Seattle is a city of many personalities: eclectic, urban, outdoorsy, artsy, gritty, down-to-earth, or posh--it`s all here, from the quirky character of the Seattle Waterfront, to the eccentric ” Republic of Fremont, ” to hipsters walking baby carriages past aging mansions on Capitol Hill. There`s something for just about everyone within this vibrant Emerald City. Outside of Seattle, the San Juan Islands offer a respite from city life, while Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens, & Olympic National Park beckon adventure travelers.
