I had a good time while there and got to see many things.

If one is planning on a vacation trip to Seattle, Washington's biggest city, they should check out an article and video from Travel + Leisure on fun things to do there.

Hailed as one of the Best Places to Travel in 2016, this Pacific Northwest capital of cool has a blossoming culinary neighborhood, Capitol Hill, a vaunted music scene, and no shortage of attractions. 

If you want to know what to do in Seattle, start by ascending the Space Needle—an iconic landmark built for the 1962 World’s Fair.
