There is no better time to visit Seattle than the summer. It is the time when the city's residents, a.k.a. Seattlelites, come out to revel in the sun and gorgeous weather.
Seattle and the surrounding Puget Sound offer countless outdoor summer activities including:
Pacific Northwest beaches, mountain ranges, waterways and the only temperate rain forests in the lower 48 states.
Boating, hiking and rock climbing.
Puget Sound ferry rides to over 80 islands and scenic peninsulas.
Numerous outdoor arts/entertainment events.
If the city life is more your speed, Bastyr University campus is just 16 miles from downtown Seattle, which offers a world-renowned music scene, live theatre and an eclectic arts culture. Tourist destinations not-to-be-missed: touring local wineries and breweries; experiencing first-hand Seattle' influential coffee culture; and visiting remarkable architectural structures like the Space Needle, Experience Music Project, Seattle's downtown city library, Seattle Art Musuem, and the Museum of Glass in neighboring Tacoma.
