The city is a damp green gem, with an abundance of evergreen trees throughout, and spectacular views of the Cascade mountains to the east and the Olympic mountains to the west. Seattle is the home of the Space Needle, Boeing's aircraft assembly plants, Microsoft, Amazon.com, Costco, Nintendo of America, the first Starbucks, T-Mobile, and the University of Washington, as well as a vibrant arts and music scene and an excellent park system.





Weather
While Seattle is well known for its rain and dark, gloomy skies. It may surprise many how pleasant the weather can be, particularly during the summer months. The weather can be quite pleasant from April to October, with exceptionally nice weather in July and August where highs average in the upper 70s and rain is very uncommon. Skies are mostly clear and smog-free, though mornings can produce an on-shore flow resulting in low clouds and fog which typically burns off by mid-day. The summer brings greater chance of warm temperatures and clear skies. Winds are heavier in the winter than summer, but overall Seattle is not a windy city, adding to the comfort during the summer. The region does feature micro-climates due to the number of hills, and bodies of water, which can result in significantly different weather conditions over short distances.

There is a large Ride Free area downtown, where no fare is required.

Taxis Seattle has abundant licensed taxi operators, and you can flag them down from most downtown streets or call a cab by phone. It is clear that the rate depends on the distance of the place where you go, but in general terms is a very comfortable means of transportation and is not as expensive especially if you share the taxi with friends.

Car Driving in Seattle can be a challenge due to large volumes of traffic on downtown streets, freeway logjams, and alternating one way streets that seem to baffle many drivers.

Walk The best way to see Seattle is walking. This is a city where most of the tourist sites are within the same area. Moving through the streets of Seattle is also quite simple also is a good exercise and the most economical way to reach your destination.

Bars To Visit:
If you are 21 then you legally go out and get to know some of the bars and nightlife Seattle has to offer. In case you are not 21, you still have an opportunity, you can visit Vancouver Canada, the legal age their is 19 in that area. Here are some of the best options depending on your mood and activity: Best Beer Bar: 

Many places are dedicated to craft subs, but the top spots are places like Burgundian and Brouwer's.

Burgundian:

Address: 2253 N 56th St, Seattle,WA 98103



Best Spot:  If it's one of the 71 days a year that it's not at least partially cloudy, then Marination Ma Kai   is where you want to be. This Alki Beach-adjacent offshoot of one of Seattle's best food trucks serves Hawaiian-influenced street food in a beer garden that overlooks downtown.

Best For Partying:  Von Trapp's is what takes the place of nightclubs among discerning Seattleites. The cavernous space boasts two giant bars prepping unique, beer-based cocktails, five indoor bocce courts, and shareable eats that include housemade sausages. Note that it even has lines like a nightclub, so unless you like the sound of music (get it!? Von Trapps?  The Sound of Music ?) from outside, get there early.



Hottest place: Big-Top-Circus Inspired "Unicorn" is located in the heart of  Capitol Hill's busiest nightlife strip and has multiple levels/bawdily named cocktails/fried candy bars for dessert. Plus Macklemore's  Thrift Shop  video was shot there, so it's likely that the lovely hipster ladies who flock there actually prefer dudes who dress funny. <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;text-justify:inter-ideograph">
