The Seattle City Guides deal with the questions visitors bring: where to eat beyond the market crowds, which museums and viewpoints justify a ticket, what to do with children when it rains, which taprooms and jazz rooms locals choose and which ferry or train makes the best day out. Each guide is a short list with an opinion, giving the reason to go, what to order or see and one useful tip for every place, and it opens in your browser right after payment.

Three places from the guides
Paseo
Fremont, Fremont Ave N
Caribbean-style pork sandwiches piled high with soft, caramelised onions, messy enough that you will want a stack of napkins. Seattle happily lines up for them. From the food guide.
Smith Tower
Pioneer Square
The city’s first skyscraper, finished in 1914. A brass and marble lobby and an elevator still worked by hand lead to a small open-air deck and a bar in the spirit of Prohibition. From the things to do guide.
Snoqualmie Falls
Snoqualmie, 40 min by car east on I-90
A 268-foot waterfall that is at its loudest after the winter rain. The upper viewpoint and its parking are free, and a steep path drops down to the river. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Seattle
Day one: walk Pike Place Market early, follow the waterfront to the Olympic Sculpture Park and end with the skyline from Kerry Park and a cocktail in Belltown. Day two: catch a ferry to the islands or a bus to Tacoma with the day trips guide, then eat in Fremont or Ballard. For a rainy or slow day, combine the indoor museums from the family and things to do guides with a bookshop, a taproom and a cheap lunch from the budget guide.
