Seattle in $320s-$350s RT

Bonjour, Québec City! Flight Finder Jake here with some tips from my latest visit to Seattle.

The city itself is very walkable and has a great atmosphere. For shopping, Pike Place totally lives up to its reputation, but I had more fun thrifting at the Fremont Sunday Market. I'd also recommend skipping the Space Needle (it's kinda lame), but if you do want to check it out, definitely visit the spectacular Chihuly Garden & Glass Museum afterwards—it's right next door.

Outside the city, Olympic National Park is one of the most gorgeous forests in the US, but a comfortable raincoat is a necessity if you want to do any hiking. It's a pretty big park, so figure out where you hope to go before you make the drive (the Hoh Rainforest was my personal favourite spot).

Finally, don't forget about the islands on Puget Sound! I stayed on Anderson Island during my trip, but there are plenty of other places to relax and take in nature just a short ferry ride from the mainland.

Oh, and did I mention the troll? :-)
