Seattle is an internationally known tourist destination; a major city in a most scenic region. It provides easy access to Puget Sound and the San Juan Islands, to Victoria and Vancouver, to Mount Rainier, Olympic National Park, and the North Cascades National Park. Many diverse restaurants and shopping areas exist in all price ranges. Local attractions include the Space Needle and Pacific Science Center; the Pike Place Market, the Aquarium, and waterfront piers; theaters, opera house, concerts, and night clubs; Woodland Park Zoo; the University of Washington and arboretum; the Seattle Art Museum, and the Museum of Flight. The Washington State History Museum and Point Defiance Park and Zoo are in Tacoma. In recent years, the Boeing plant in Everett (north of Seattle) has become the single most popular tourist attraction in the state. The Everett factory is the world's largest building in enclosed volume and is the final assembly site for Boeing's wide body jets (747, 767, and 777). Microsoft, Boeing, Nintendo of America, the University of Washington, and many small software firms are major presences in the region. |
