Practical tips for hotel guests in Seattle
Seattle drizzles more than it pours. A light waterproof jacket beats an umbrella — locals rarely carry them.
Pike Place Market opens at 9 AM. Arrive early to avoid crowds and catch the fishmongers' famous throwing show.
The ORCA card works on all Seattle transit including buses, light rail, ferries, and the monorail. Load it once and go.
Seattle summers (June–September) are spectacular and dry. The rest of the year brings gray skies and frequent drizzle.
Coffee culture is serious here. Skip Starbucks (they're everywhere) and try local roasters like Elm Coffee, Victrola, or Storyville.
Many downtown hotels are walking distance to the waterfront, Pioneer Square, and Pike Place. You likely don't need a car.
