Visiting Seattle has been a priority because I have it in mind to explore most of the sister cities to Austin so that when I decide to move, it will be more of a better informed decision. So far, I've visited Nashville, Portland, Denver and I'm considering visiting Asheville and Raleigh, both in North Carolina. At this time, the order of preference is Portland, Denver, Seattle, Nashville... you couldn't pay me to live there, though I'll admit that I had a great time visiting.
A friend and I spent a long weekend in Seattle, landed on Friday morning and left Monday morning. Flight tickets were $ and our Airbnb which was ..mins walking distance from the Space Needle and in the heart of the city cost us $.
