Seattle Travel Guide- an Overview of Seattle

Seattle, being the huge city that it is, a ‘Seattle travel guide’ can be very helpful for a visitor to the ‘The rainy city’ or ‘the emerald city’. This Seattle travel guide assumes you’ve already put your foot on the city (probably by plane that landed on to the Seattle-Tacoma international airport).

First things first!
