Seattle City Pass

Dodge flying fish. Sip Pike Blend, available only at the original Starbucks – the little brew that launched an empire. Twirl around twice for a panoramic effect of Elliott Bay, the Olympic peaks, the top sliver of Mt. Rainier, and magazine-chic islands surrounding the Pacific Northwest's fabled Emerald City. Seattle CityPass attractions are perfect punctuation points to Pike Place Market fishmongers and crafts, downtown shopping and Pioneer Square galleries.

At half-off the price of individually purchased admission, our sleek CityPass booklet puts you on a gorgeous Argosy Cruises Harbor tour, crossing wakes with island ferries. Immerse yourself in fresh and salt-water wonders at the Seattle Aquarium and, from a higher viewpoint, leave your fingerprints on Pacific Science Center exhibits. Drop in on the Woodland Park Zoo for a peek at the region's flora and fauna. And for an idea of the influence of man's devotion to air travel, visit The Museum of Flight. Note: Summers (and in the Northwest, that means from the Fourth of July to October) are naturally air-conditioned and relatively dry. It's when all those Washington wine regions get great sun on the vines. There’s less rainfall than in New York, but it appears here as mist or drizzle. Locals love it, swear by its power to look ten years younger, count on "sun breaks" and leave umbrellas to the tourists.
