Seattle is located on Puget Sound and is one of the most stunning cities in the country. Seattle's nickname is the Emerald City because not only is it a jewel of a city but also due to the large number of evergreens throughout the region.
When most people think of Seattle, they think rain but it doesn't really rain as much as it does in other parts of the country. Seattle actually boasts one of the most livable climates in the world. Few residents own air conditioners or snow shovels and the growing season is typically around 11 months.
We recommend extending before or after your cruise to enjoy everything this city has to offer.
