Seattle and its surrounding area offer so many activities that it can be difficult to pick just a few. Although you could spend a happy week just exploring the city, there are plenty of spots an hour or two away that warrant consideration.

Seattle is a city of clean, fresh air and plenty of parks and recreation. You can walk or jog along the Puget Sound at Myrtle Edwards Park which winds along Elliot Bay. From there you can explore downtown, including the famous Pike Place Market with its fresh food and flower stands. A tour of the Seattle Underground is a quirky and fun attraction. After the Great Seattle Fire of 1889, the city planners rebuilt the city literally on top of itself and the old structures still rest underneath and now serve as a popular tourist attraction. The city also offers a wide variety of museums and a top-notch aquarium. Of course, a trip to the top of the Space Needle shouldn't be missed.

If you wish to venture outside the city, there are plenty of options. A short ferry ride will take you across the sound to Bainbridge Island, where you'll find little cafes and shops. The ride itself is a big part of the fun. Excellent skiing is within an hour's drive, and in warmer months, trips to the mountains for hiking and picnics are popular. The Puget Sound has many interesting islands to visit, which can be accessed by an extensive ferry service.

No matter what you decide to do, you have to stay somewhere. There's no better place to relax than a Seattle inn or bed and breakfast. Here is an excellent option to consider.

With its ideal downtown address, the Inn at Harbor Steps is the perfect home base for visitors to Seattle. This Seattle inn is located in a high-rise building in the city's arts and business district. The inn offers all the amenities of a large hotel, but maintains the comfort and romance one expects from a bed and breakfast.

The spacious guest rooms include either queen or king beds, and most have a fireplace and view of the garden. A few guestrooms also include a jetted spa tub and small balcony. Soft, fluffy robes and bathrooms stocked with European bath products are just a few of the amenities. There is a concierge service and an on-site fitness center. A full breakfast buffet is served each morning. Afternoon tea and chocolate turn-down service are among the other treats guest will enjoy.
