★ A guide to top attractions & local secrets ★

Whether you're visiting Seattle--or living there happily--Seattle *Essential* includes everything you need to know about every place you want to go.

This app covers the most popular sightseeing highlights--from the tippy-top of the Space Needle to the cobweb-hung alleys on the Underground Tour. It features the best-known museums and attractions, as well as the city's parks, theater companies, sports teams, memorable places to eat, and oddball local icons (meet The Troll).

Attractions appeal to all interests--from family favorites to historical sights, mountain hikes to wine tastings. Users can search listings by name, neighborhood, or cost. Descriptions convey the feel of each locale--as well as practical details such as hours and admission fees. Get a sneak peak before you go--with gorgeous photos not available anywhere else.

Author Risa Wyatt is both a Seattleite--and a globetrotting travel journalist (50+ countries) for more than 20 years. Her honest, witty reviews point you to places that match your interests.
