What’s So Great About Washington State?

Seattle

Who doesn’t love that space needle? We see it in every newscast that ever happened from Seattle, and its towering presence seems to lure us to find out more. I’m actually afraid of heights, so I’ll probably never know what it’s like to tour the Space Needle itself, but you can tour it if you wish! Seattle has much more to offer, though than The Space Needle. They are home to Amazon’s headquarters, the biggest retail store in the United States, as well as Microsoft and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Seattle is where a lot of amazing things got started. Among the sites you’ll want to see in Seattle are The Waterfront Park, The Pacific Science Center, and The Seattle Art Museum. After all this culture, it might be a great time to head to Pike Place Fish Market. One word of caution, they are famous for Throwing Fish. . . yes, you read that correctly!
