This is the only guide you need to help you explore Seattle!
By tallbutstillrockinheels
My husband and I went to Seattle to visit for 4 days. We only had this guide book and his smart phone, and we were able to find great things to do and places to eat the whole time. I liked that the restaurants in the book were broken up both by type and by location – Seattle has very clearly defined neighborhoods, and it was great for parking purposes, etc., to be able to pick the neighborhood/area you were going, and find out what to do or eat there. I thought the ratings were pretty spot on as well, for restaurants, hikes, and hotels. We stayed at Hotel Deca, which he rated very highly, and it really was a great hotel with good access to downtown Seattle. We did the Mt. Si hike, one the author said was strenuous but worthwhile, and he was certainly accurate on both accounts. The pocket map was GREAT, and was made from some sort of material that wasn’t just paper, so it held up very well after being toted around in my purse and frequently referred to over the course of 4 days.

I found 2 weak areas: 1) he incorrectly said we would not need a parking pass at the Mt. Si parking area, and it was clearly posted all over that we needed a pass, so we had to drive all the way back into town to purchase one; 2)there was no description of the Mt. Rainier hiking. I know he can’t describe everything in the state of Washington in detail, but that was just something we tried to look up, and were not helped with. I also wish it came with coupons or something for some of the places that it recommends.

Excellent tool for planning our Washington State trip
By retired teacher
After using the “search inside book option” I ordered this excellent resource which covers almost the whole area we will tour by car during our 2 1/2 week vacation. Within hours of receiving Seattle 2011, our trip plan was developed, due to the book’s organization, maps and concise descriptions. One of the best features is the listing of web addresses which facilitate ordering ferry tickets and finding current exhibitions at museums, etc.

Great Book On Seattle
By The Footpath Cowboy
FROMMER’S SEATTLE is a great book about the Seattle, Washington area. It features lots of info about recreation, dining, nightlife, shopping, sightseeing, and culture, as well as interesting side trips and information for foreign travelers. The only problem with this book is that it doesn’t go into detail about shopping malls and music stores. However, if you get it in conjunction with the INSIDERS’ GUIDE and NEWCOMER’S HANDBOOK series, as well as several other guides, you’ll have everything you need to know about Seattle at your fingertips.
