Seattle offers a wide variety of things to do during your visit, as the city is rich in parks, museums, interesting shops, gourmet restaurants, entertainment, beaches, and view vistas.  Seattle is a very "walkable" city with an excellent public transportation system.  There are also many scenic day trips that can be made from Seattle within a few hours.  Your innkeeper is an invaluable resource for enjoying the city, recommending sights and attractions, and providing directions.  Visit our Touring Seattle and Western Washington Page for a sampling!

May through September can be quite a busy time for Seattle B&B's.  Reservations in advance are recommended.  Weekends fill most rapidly, so if you are able to choose midweek days for your Seattle stay, you may find more to choose from.  Most B&B's have a minimum stay requirement during the summer months, although you may find one night openings especially midweek.

If you are ready to make a reservation or simply at a point where you would like more information, please take the opportunity to call the Innkeeper directly at any Inn.  You will find member Innkeepers happy to answer any questions you might have about their Inn and about Seattle.  We invite you to ask about the Inn and the rooms that appeal to you most.  Personal attention to your selection of rooms and of a B&B is part of the unique travel experience that we offer.

Use the Association hotline to obtain general information and locations for member inns as well as referrals to member inns based on availability for particular dates and/or particular requirements.

Seattle is a town for eating, everything from seafood - a Northwest Specialty - with Washington wines, to any ethnic taste you desire. Each neighborhood and the downtown area have a large variety of restaurants to tempt your palate. Each of our Innkeepers have their favorite neighborhood places and will be happy to help you select the place that's best for you. Since many of Seattle's finest places do require reservations, we thought we'd list our top 5 favorites should you want to make a reservation before you leave home. For more information on area restaurants, we suggest looking at www.savvydiner.com/seattle or www.restaurantrow.com.

Ray's Boathouse: Featuring Northwest Seafood with a view of the Olympic Mountains and the sound - this is one of Seattle's top spots for locals and tourists. Dining is available inside or outside. The deck is our favorite spot to watch the sunset and once the sun is down, they'll even give you a blanket to wrap up in while you finish dinner. 206-789-3770

Wild Ginger: Seattle's most popular Asian restaurant - this one does require reservations to be sure you get a spot. As one Innkeeper puts it, I've never gotten a bad review from a guest about this restaurant. 206-623-4450

The Flying Fish: One of Seattle's best and most often written about seafood spots. It's located in Belltown, just north of the downtown area. 206-728-8595

Daniel's Broiler: For meat eaters, this is our favorite place. You may have read about other more famous places for steak in this seafood town, but this is the one we go to. With a location downtown, one on Lake Washington, and a new one on Lake Union, you can view the water and have your excellent steak with all the trimmings and a great bottle of wine (and yes, they do broil seafood too!). On Lake Union: 206-621-8262. On Lake Washington: 206-329-4191.

Palisades: Great seafood and fabulous views. Located on Elliot Bay Marina, with views of the boats, city , and Puget Sound, this one is hard to beat. Seafood served simply grilled or with Asian influenced sauces, the food is hard to beat and the decor includes a tidal pool and waterfall. The view inside is almost as good as the view outside, and ... one innkeeper highly recommends the trio of burnt-cream custard for the perfect finishing touch! 206-222-2222
