Seattle has become a real hub of arts and culture in the Pacific Northwest. This coastal city, with its temperate climate and “The Big Dark” (the 6 straight months of overcast) has a unique vibe you don’t find in many other cities. If you’ve visited Seattle before, you’ve probably heard of the standard and famous sites like the Space Needle, Pike Place Market and the Museum of Pop Culture. Don’t get me wrong, those are great sites to see. But that is nowhere near all the strange sites and activities Seattle has to offer. This innovative and ever-growing metropolis is dripping with one-of-a-kind experiences you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else.
