It’s easy to see why they call Seattle the Emerald City; small and manageable with dramatic architecture, it is surrounded on all sides by mountains and water, and dazzling natural beauty. The nation’s largest ferry system links the city to commuter islands like Bainbridge and the Olympic Peninsula, and seaplanes take off and land like so many shore birds among sailors, windsurfers and kayakers on bustling Lake Union.
As this paper’s Finicky Traveler columnist, I’m known as a tough critic of places that don’t live up to the hype, but Seattle is one destination that I’ve had few quibbles with since I first visited 15 years ago
