Seattle 

Rain, coffee, and creativity.

Seattle is a city that perfectly blends innovation, natural beauty, and iconic experiences. Whether you're a first-time traveler or a returning visitor, there’s something unmistakably special about this Pacific Northwest gem. Two of its most famous attractions — the Space Needle and the Starbucks Reserve Roastery — showcase the city's unique character and global influence.

No visit to Seattle is complete without a trip to the Space Needle. Originally built for the 1962 World’s Fair, this futuristic tower has become a symbol of the city. Rising 605 feet above ground, it offers panoramic views of downtown Seattle, Mount Rainier, the Puget Sound, and beyond. The recently renovated glass floor and open-air observation deck create a thrilling, immersive experience that puts Seattle literally at your feet. It’s the perfect first stop to get your bearings and soak in the city’s iconic skyline.

Coffee lovers will feel right at home in Seattle, the birthplace of Starbucks. But don’t just visit your neighborhood café — instead, head to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Capitol Hill. This immersive coffee experience is like a theme park for caffeine enthusiasts. Watch beans roasted in-house, sip rare brews you won’t find elsewhere, and learn about the artistry behind every cup. The atmosphere is warm, industrial, and uniquely Seattle — buzzing with energy and rich with the scent of fresh coffee.

Seattle also offers incredible seafood, waterfront strolls at Pike Place Market, and nearby escapes to nature. But the Space Needle and Starbucks Roastery perfectly capture the city’s essence: innovative, bold, and rooted in culture. Whether you're looking for scenic views, world-class coffee, or a deeper connection to Seattle’s soul, these two stops are must-visits that define the experience.
