Even though Seattle’s known for its rainy days, its (surprisingly many) sunny ones are the city’s best-kept secret. With stunning lakes, lush greenery, rushing waterfalls, and three national parks all within reach, it’s a dream for outdoors-lovers. And when the rain does come, there’s plenty of places worth ducking in: Chihuly Gardens and Glass Museum, the Central Public Library, or any of the many cosy eateries serving Asian fusion favourites.
