| Publisher Description: The Best and Most Unique Seattle Travel Guide Seattle is probably the most progressive city in the world, hands down. But we are also logical although high-minded. We are a city of contradictions, really. A city that has set more trends for the country than Hollywood and New York combined. What we are going to do, or rather, I am going to do, as we take a local guided tour of "The Rainy City", is dispel those myths, and temper those exaggerations, while I show so much more of what the city has to offer beyond the things it is famous for. First, let's take a local litmus test and see which of the city's' many nicknames we think is most appropriate, and by the end of this book, see which one fits the best. The official nickname is "The Emerald City", decided in a contest in 1981. Previous to this change, Seattle had been known as "Queen City". Though Seattle does have of one of the nation's highest per capita population of LGBT, that's not what it was referring to. It was actually coined by real estate developers Russell and Ferry, in an effort to promote the city as a future "Queen City of the Pacific", probably to encourage development."The Emerald City" refers to the lush greenery surrounding the city. We'll explore the nature in a later chapter. Emerald City has also been adapted to promote something: Tourism. Tourism is a large part of our economy. We have always been a town of passer-throughs, being first and primarily a seaport city, but we have reached over 10 million overnight visitors recently, and close to $6 billion dollars, that's right, billion, is spent annually by visitors to Seattle. Let this book guide you to the many places that you must see in Seattle to make this trip a life changing event. This book is filled with suggested places to stay, from budget to luxurious, places to visit, local cuisines to try, and places to shop. All these suggested itineraries have been experienced first-hand and are all highly recommended to tourists. Experience a whole new world when you come and visit SEATTLE.
