Kuphi ukuthatha abahlobo kunye nosapho kwi-Puget Sound
Sonke siye sabona. Nangona uhlala kwi-Puget Sound iminyaka (okanye mhlawumbi ubomi bakho) kwaye ungaze ube neengxaki ekuqiqeni ukuba wenzeni ngexesha lakho, unabangane okanye intsapho edolophini iintsuku ezimbalwa. Baya kucela ntoni. Ngesizathu esithile usugxile ngokupheleleyo. Ewe, qwalasela eli phepha elichanekileyo:
Kerry Park
Umntu ophuma ngaphandle kwidolophu apha nje ngosuku okanye ngaphantsi, akukho bhongo engcono kwinqanaba lakho kunombono oqaqambileyo wesixeko, iPuget Sound kunye noMt.
URainer (ukuba unethamsanqa) kunolu mbono ogqithiseleyo kwi-Queen Anne. Hlanganisa nesidlo, sisela okanye ikhofi kunoma yiphi enye intaba yeentaba, kwaye sele usubonisile kwi-Seattle ngokufanelekileyo.
Alki Beach
Ngehlobo kuphela, utsho? Ewe, ngokucacileyo kukho into enokuyonwabela ngayo malunga noAlki xa ilanga liphuma kwaye amanzi engabonakali ebandayo kodwa eqala ukudlala imilenze kunye neenyawo zakho. Kodwa nangona-ngaphandle kwexesha, le ngenye yamabhankeni asemgangathweni omhlaba wokuhamba nokuthatha imibono emihle yesixeko kunye neziqithi ezikufutshane. Cinga ukudibanisa kunye neteksi yamanzi ukusuka edolophu. Ukuze ube neenqwenela ngakumbi, tshintsha le ntlanzi kunye nolwandle olungenakufikeleleka kwi-Discovery Park.
Market Pike Place
I-cliché, kodwa ngesizathu. I-Market ayikho nje into enomdla, iyasebenza ngokwenene-kwaye ikhula-njengemarike kawonkewonke. Zizikhumbuze kunye nabaphangi beentlanzi, kodwa ukuba uthengela ukuya kumgangatho ophakamileyo weentlanzi ezikufuphi.
Njalo ubuze oko kusemgangathweni kwaye ungaze uloyike ukuvumba izinto. Yeka umgca kwi-Starbucks yasekuqaleni (naphi apho iindwendwe zakho zivela khona, zinayo i-Starbucks nayo) kwaye uzame esikhundleni seMe Sum Sumry.
Boeing Factory Tour
Ukuba ufuna ukuqonda ngokwenene indawo yase Seattle, kufuneka uqonde ukuhambelana kwethu kunye ne-aerospace.
Ngoxa iMicrosoft eye yacima iBoing njenge-premiere brand ye-Seattle, i-Windows iyithandeka ngakumbi kuneenqwelo zeenqwelo eziphambili zehlabathi? Thatha i-jaret ku-Everett kwaye ungene kwisakhiwo esikhulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni (ngevolumu) ukuze ubone abantu abangama-30,000 abanezakhono kunye nabanikezeli abazinikezeleyo abakha izitya zokusasa. Ukuba uzonwabisa nabantwana, cinga i-Renton Museum of Flight esikhundleni.

Nangona i-Tacoma kunye ne-Seattle zinemveliso emihle, akukho ngokwenene ehlukileyo kunowama-dolophu amakhulu edolophu. Kodwa i-Eatonville yeNorth North-West Trek kufuphi neTacoma yinto enye enobubele. Ipaki ye-wildlife engama-435 e-acre eneendidi ezininzi zezilwanyana eziquka i-grizzles, izimvu ezinkulu, iiglegi, i-moose, i-elk, i-caribou, ukhozi lwe-bald kunye nezinye iintandokazi zaseMelika. Ukuba isandi se-grizzlies sikulitshitshisa, ungakhathazeki, kwimbali engama-35 yepaki, iindwendwe zidliwe ngqo.
INtaba iZi
Intaba iSi mhlawumbi ilungele ukuhamba ngomhla. Kuphela imizuzu ukusuka kwisixeko, ufumanisa kakhulu entlango kwaye ujongene nomngeni okhuphukayo. Iimpawu ezinqumlayo emithini ngendlela eya phezulu kwisithembiso seza kuza, kwaye emva kweeyure ezimbini ufikelela "kwindawo yokutya." Isiseko se-haystack yindawo yokumisa ngokuqhelekileyo kwaye inika iindawo ezimangalisayo zeCascades, iiOlimpiki kunye nazo zonke iingongoma phakathi.
Abantu abanomdla banokuqhayisa i-haystack ematye ukuya kwi-top top yeentaba, ngelixa i-mellow ingayinwabela isidlo sakusihlwa esifanelekileyo.
Bellevue Botanical Garden
E-Seattle ukutyelela, i-Bellevue idlalwa ngqalelo. Ngokuqinisekileyo kuthathwa njengenye yezona ndawo ezifanelekileyo zokuhlala eMelika, kodwa ayinayo iimpawu eziqhankqalayo, amashishini angembali, okanye amacandelo amakhulu enkcubeko yabamelwane. Kodwa i-Botanical Garden yase-Bellevue iqhuma phantsi kwe-radar njengokuba yinto engcono kakhulu yokuyenza kuyo yonke indawo. Enoba uyazi amagama ezityalo okanye ayikho, uhambo oluhle, nokuba lulodwa okanye lo mntu okhethekileyo. Yigcine nje le nto phakathi kwam nawe.
I-SAM ye-Olimpiki yeSakhiwo seZakhiwo
Kutheni ungakhethi u-SAM uqobo, unokubuza? I-SAM ibuncwane bendawo, kodwa idlala ngokukhawuleza ngokubambisana nezixeko ezindala "iqoqo ezinkulu" kwaye zinokuthi zenze iindwendwe zakho eziphuma ngaphandle kwidolophu.
I-Olimpiki Yethu Yokudweba I-Olimpiki kodwa kunjalo ngokwenene, nangona kunjalo, kwaye ikhululekile. Indawo ephambene nxamnye namanzi kunye nangaphezulu kweendlela eziphambili kunye nomzila woololiwe, ipaki iyakwazi ukuzincoma ngokukhawuleza kwaye ihlaziywe rhoqo. Ezinye zeemifanekiso ziyakubonwa ngamakhulu amabanga kude. Ezinye iziqwenga zinyuka kuwe, zenza umva ukuba ukufumanisa okukufutshane.
