Seattle-travel-guide--an-overview-of-seattle-
By Connie v Boling
Seattle, being the huge city that it is, a ‘Seattle guide’ can be very helpful for a visitor to the ‘The rainy city’ or ‘the emerald city’. This Seattle guide assumes you’ve already put your foot on the city (probably by plane that landed on to the Seattle-Tacoma international airport).
First things first! You should perhaps have a reservation in a hotel already and if you haven’t this Seattle guide has a couple of suggestions: economy-Hotel Seattle (tel-1-877-846-7835), Seattle green tortoise hotel (tel-1-888-424-6783), luxury- hotel Monaco Seattle (tel-1800-945-2240). A Seattle guide should mention few of the tours around, not for one to stop referring to the Seattle guide but to enhance the beauty of the travel. Some tours, worth a take are mentioned below-
•Show me Seattle- a mini-bus tour.
•Seattle underground tour- A trip through the undergrounds of Pioneer square.
•Beeline tours.
•Seattle tours- through the major attractions of Seattle.
•Argosy cruises- this one includes a harbor and two lake-cruises.
The major attractions that have made a significant presence in any Seattle guide are-
•The space needle. (A Seattle is incomplete without a visit to this place.)
•The Seattle art museum.
•The Henry art gallery.
•Museum of flight.
•Science Fiction museum.
•Fyre museum
•Experience music project or most commonly known as EMP.
•Smith tower.
•Pike Place market.
•Columbia center.
•Monorail.
•Seattle aquarium.
•UW waterfront activities arena or center.
•Hiram M.Chittenden locks.
•Woodland park zoo.
The nature’s beauty found in the greenery around is a refresher and so is the well maintained parks like-
•Carkeek park- A beach park.
•Green Lake.
•Kubota garden.
•Waterfronts
•Olympic Sculpture Park.
•Discovery park
•Golden Gardens Park. (The bonfire here is very popular!)
Some popular cultural events that make for an amazing
Seattle include-
•Seafair - Sea lovers, watch out!
•Bumbershoot- A music and dance fest.
•Hempfest- The largest marijuana rally you’ve ever seen. Usually happens during mid-august.
•Bite of Seattle- held during late July in the Seattle center.
•Northwest folklife festival- It’s free!!
The aspects covered so far in the Seattle guide are more related to amusement and for a fun-filled holiday in Seattle. However, a safe Seattle is the most important aspect and that can be possible only with responsible behavior from the tourists. The lines of the law of Seattle should never be crosses at any point of the Seattle travel. The nightlife here is one of the best of its kind in the world; however no compromise should be done on safety. Personal care and care of your belongings can help in making Seattle city a safer place. The area code for city of Seattle happens to be 206. Free Wi-Fi access is available in the Seattle public libraries and in many cafes of Seattle. Contacts of few hospitals can be helpful during Seattle travel.
•Harborview medical center- 1-206-744-3000.
•UW medical center-1-206-598-3300.
•‘911’ is the code for emergency anywhere in the U.S.

Seattle's secret is out: Lake Chelan, Washington
If you live in Seattle or Spokane, Lake Chelan is your summer go-to spot. Best of all, few Californians know of it. But that's about to change.<br/><br/>CHELAN, Wash. — Just say the words "summer at the lake" in certain company, and you'll get a wistful smile, possibly followed by stories about fishing contests, belly-flops, mosquito bites, campfire songs, sexual awakening, lingering regret, family feuds, winterizing expenses and the prospect that the mortgage interest tax deductions for second homes might someday be disallowed.

Weekend Escape: The small-town charms of Arroyo Grande
The Central Coast town features Doc Burnstein's Ice Cream Lab, Gather Wine Bar, Santa Manuela Schoolhouse and a swinging bridge.<br/><br/>The sleepy Central Coast town of Arroyo Grande, population 17,000, is the ideal place to shut out the mayhem of city life for a few days. There's not much to do except relax, drink wine, read your book and take sunset strolls.

75th birthday celebration for the Golden Gate Bridge
For starters, the famous orange-painted span finally has a visitors center. Then there's a gala in San Francisco next weekend with exhibits, films and more.<br/><br/>As its 75th birthday fast approaches, the Golden Gate Bridge is getting a little birthday present. Even though about 40 million vehicles cross it each year and visitors come in droves daily to admire and photograph it, the spectacular span has never had a visitor center. That is, until this month.

Portland, Ore., is a smaller, cleaner, wetter alternative to L.A.
Pacific Pie Co., Oblation print shop and the Pearl District are part of the town's charms. Hotel Modera has original art and an upscale restaurant, Nel Centro.<br/><br/>The Portland Hop. I know, it sounds like a dance craze in 1937. But really, it's what you do when Southern California gets you down and you need to drink small-batch beer, eat Northwestern locavore meals and see bike commuters in the rain. My wife, daughter and I hit Portland, Ore., for a few days last August. Here's the report.

Old California and good grub in San Juan Capistrano
The Orange County town boasts a famous mission and the returning swallows (sometimes). It also has great restaurants, a heritage museum and more.<br/><br/>What an appealing slice-of-life California town, an easy day trip by car or train. Come for the history, stay for the food. This restaurant-intensive ranch town is the oldest community in Orange County. If San Juan Capistrano — or SJC — had a dating profile it would say: "Self-deprecating, authentic, still likes a good time."

MachineGunsVegas, Guns & Ammo Garage: Pull the trigger on a trip
Las Vegas indoor gun ranges MachineGunsVegas and Guns & Ammo Garage are fun but can be pricey. Consider a cheap but pleasant stay at the Plaza.<br/><br/>Two new Las Vegas venues invite guests to — quite literally — have a blast. Letting loose with high-powered firearms may not be everyone's idea of a good time, but my visits to two indoor gun ranges suggested just how popular they are with tourists.

Wining and dining on the Ventura coast
Old Creek Ranch Winery has a tasting room and patio, and Anacapa Brewing Co. is worth a visit. Serra Cross Park offers tranquil views of the Channel Islands. <br/><br/>Ask a Venturan and he or she will tell you that the city is both the end of Southern California and the beginning of the central part of the state. With a gorgeous coastline, an affinity for agriculture, a happening night life and a healthy enthusiasm for all things vino, this duality isn't just a clever marketing campaign — it's the real deal.

Tour luxurious Sunnylands in Rancho Mirage
The 200-acre Annenberg estate, now open to the public, has hosted political and Hollywood power players.<br/><br/>Sunnylands, the 200-acre Annenberg estate in Rancho Mirage that hosted five decades of political and Hollywood luminaries behind its pink walls, opened to the public for the first time in March. Consider this 20,000-square-foot dwelling, set in a far-as-the-eye-can-see expanse of golf course green, as a latter-day incarnation of the Gilded Age mansions of Newport, R.I. Inside the house, digital reproductions of the Annenbergs' $1-billion-plus Impressionist art collection compete for space on the few walls not made of glass.

In San Francisco's Mission District, touring Clarion Alley murals
Take one of the mural tours or see them on your own. The Inn, a Victorian B&B, has a hot tub and antiques. Bi-Rite Market and Pizzeria Delfina offer good eats.<br/><br/>The fantastical murals of San Francisco's Mission District are an intriguing dialogue between artists and their city that you can easily experience on foot. On any given day in Clarion Alley, tourists from all over the world mingle with field-tripping students (and the homeless). Start at the Mission Street end of Clarion Alley, then exit at Valencia Street and head south (turn left). Check out the murals all the way to 20th Street. Typically, walk one or two blocks (east or west) to view. Murals include "Vamos Gigantes" (19th Street between San Carlos and Lexington streets), "MaestraPeace" (18th between Linda and Lapidge streets) and "Mission Pool" (Linda Street at 19th Street). Or take one of four mural tours offered by Precita Eyes ([415] 285-2287, http://www.precitaeyes.org ; no tour more than $15), a mural arts organization in the Mission.
