Seattle is the place to be this fall season. The city’s tree-lined streets and waterfront parks come alive with vibrant colors of crimson, amber and gold, while the cool air is filled with the smell of roasted coffee beans, saltwater and pine. Fall is also the start of Seattle’s cultural season, with the local Seattle Symphony, Pacific Northwest Ballet and theaters putting on their best performances. Travelers can hit all the hot spots like Pike Place Market, nearby wine country and take the ferry across Puget Sound for one-of-a-kind views of the autumn foliage.
