The State of Washington, USA

SEATTLE

Griffey’s Great Adventure is back for another #GGA5daygetaway.  This month’s spotlight will be on Washington State, specifically Seattle and the surrounding suburbs.  

It’s no wonder they call it “The Emerald City”.  The drive into Seattle is surrounded by green and lush scenery.  We were lucky enough to have beautiful sunny days and did not experience the “Seattle Mist”.   The skyline is as beautiful as any with the iconic space needle at its center.  From art to food to greenery, this piece of the Pacific Northwest quickly became one of our favorites.

Since it was our first time in Seattle, we wanted to be sure to see as much as possible in the short time we were there so we purchased the Seattle “CITY PASS”, which grants you access to the Space Needle, Seattle Aquarium, Argosy Cruises Harbor Tour, the Museum of Pop Culture OR Woodland Park Zoo, and Chihuly Garden and Glass OR Pacific Science Center.  This can be purchased online or at the attractions themselves.  We purchased ours in advance. Note that the CITY PASS is only good for 9 days once you use the first ticket.  CITY PASS is worth it if you are planning to visit all the listed attractions.  They are currently selling for $89.00 (USD) and you can get yours at www.citypass.com
