About Seattle Attractions & Activities

Surrounded by mountains and lakes, Seattle offers many scenic parks and attractions. Its location is conducive to boating and water sports, and a handful of attractions focuses on the city's maritime activity. Travelers may visit the Chittenham Locks, where ships travel from the Puget Sound to Lake Washington and Lake Union, or learn about the creatures that live in nearby waters at the Seattle Aquarium. For views of mountains, glaciers and waterfalls, go to Mount Rainier National Park, where you may hike, camp or picnic. On rainy days – of which Seattle has its share – museums are a popular choice. State-of-the-art technology and design enhance the Seattle Art Museum Downtown, known for its extensive collections of African and Native American art. Another interesting option, Experience Music Project captures the city's passion for rock with numerous posters, recordings and artifacts connected to famous musicians.
