Spend your summer in Seattle

Beat the summer heat by booking cheap airfares to Seattle, the largest city in both the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest! Situated between Lake Washington and the Pacific Ocean, Seattle is blessed with a beautiful landscape and has become famous for being one of the greenest cities in America.

The Emerald City, as it’s often called, is also home to some legendary musicians, most notably Jimi Hendrix and Nirvana. Nirvana was famous for popularizing Grunge music and the Grunge movement in Seattle during the early ‘90s, something that can still be found in the city today.

Not only is the city incredibly green, with a great musical history, but there are plenty of events happening from late spring through early summer to keep your interest on your visit to Seattle. Starting in May on the 12th is the Seattle Maritime Festival. Celebrating the nautical character of the city, there are races, vessel tours and even a clam chowder cook off. All great events to keep the whole family entertained for the day, taking place at the Bell Harbor Marina.

The following weekend is the always popular, 8th annual Seattle Cheese Festival, May 19-20. With educational seminars, cooking demonstrations, wine tasting and even cheese making, this event makes Seattle a fantastic time to visit for foodies all over the world.

The 38th Annual Seattle International Film Festival starts on May 17 and runs through June 12. This event celebrates films from all over the world, from well-known and independent film makers. The event will showcase over 300 films and promises to be a pretty busy event, so you may want to make sure that you’ve booked your flight and hotel ahead of time!

Rated one of the top ten events in the country, Seafair Seattle has been taking place for over half a century, and can be seen this year from June 20 through August 5. The event includes live music, parades, triathlons and more. It’s been rated one of the biggest events in the Northwest and attracts thousands to the city each year.
