Puget Sound encompasses the scenic stretch of land from Tacoma to Everett, and the stunning Kitsap Peninsula. Spectacular backdrops include Mount Rainier, Mt Baker, and the Olympic Peninsula which frame the many townships and cities that thrive in this spectacular region.
Seattle, nicknamed The Emerald City, offers cosmopolitan flare and an innovative nature. It is home of the jetliner, computer software and espresso - Local fishing and produce markets that supply Seattle's first-class restaurants with the best of ingredients aid Chefs in placing Seattle on the map of culinary achievements, offering the very best in northwest cuisine as well as an array of celebrated ethnic restaurants. Seattle's great dining scene is enhanced by its wonderful lodging and hotel choices.
The Kitsap Peninsula unfolds with extraordinary scenery from Hoods Canal through Port Orchard and along islands that skirt the channels. Stepping into its local establishments and receiving their warm hospitality are all a part of the experience, and there are choices for convivial dining and exciting stays along the way.
The southern tip of this region, Tacoma, hosts professional sporting events, concerts and revolving exhibitions in their Tacoma Dome. Their revived downtown honors its rich history. Today it co-hosts the international airport, SeaTac, and lies beautifully below majestic Mt. Rainier.
The northern stretch reaches beyond Everett, an historic pulp mill town and home to a number of statesmen over the last century, and others like Gus Reep who kept hope alive during the Great Depression through warm hospitality that still reflects the essence of the northwest. Numerous original home sites above Everett's revised waterfront have been restored where a vista of the Puget Sound displays its connection to the great Pacific Ocean. |
