For much of the year, Seattle is gray, a bit cold—and yes, rainy. But from May to September, sunshine and warm temps transform the city.

The 10 Greatest Restaurants in Seattle
There’s great seafood to be consumed in Seattle, but it’s only the beginning of what the Emerald City has to offer. Boasting one of the country’s most creative and diverse dining scenes, Seattle is dedicated to sourcing locally—from land to sea. Storied restaurants, from Canlis, the pinnacle of Pacific Northwestern fine-dining, to chic modern hangouts like the Walrus and the Carpenter, prove Seattle’s range and prowess. And even as the city’s changed over the last decade, growing and evolving under a massive tech boom, its soul remains as vibrant and bold as ever.

Discover Olympia
Sixty miles southwest of Seattle at the southern end of Puget Sound is Olympia, Washington state's capital city. A fine arts hub, the city is equally well-known for its eclectic shopping and dining scene. Complement regional faves like fish-and-chips, all things meat and potatoes, and sandwiches and barbecued burgers topped with Walla Walla sweet onions (the state veggie) with sustainably sourced baked goods, homemade tamales, and crepes filled with chocolate hazelnut sauce and poached pears. Looking for hearty yet affordable eats coupled with platefuls of calorie-rich (but oh so good!) sides? In the mood for romantic European cuisine paired with award-winning wines? Prefer gluten-free alternatives? It's all here. And while Seattle gets all the coffee buzz, Olympia has a robust coffee culture that includes one-of-a-kind java blends.
