Seattle is a city that was made for activities: The hiking opportunities are plentiful, and as I learned over a few summers, there’s no view like what you can get from a kayak, inner tube, or boat — Mt.

Even for the less outdoorsy, there’s plenty to do—spend your days visiting top-notch restaurants, fascinating museums (MoPOPAnyone?), and fun Sculpture garden. After all that work, you want a comfortable place to rest your head.
