Pacific Northwest Trip Itineraries

Job Interview

Destination(s): Seattle

This is the trip that I took when I went for a job interview at a big software company in Bellevue/Redmond. It was pretty luxurious for a guy like me, as it is Standard Operating Procedure for them to treat their potential employees to a nice hotel, free meals, a rental car, and of course airfare. I didn't get the job, but it was the best $0 I ever spent on a trip!! :) read more about Job Interview

The Space Needle

Built for the 1962 World's Fair, this 605-foot towering structure may also rate as one of the nation's most recognized structures...and one of its most overrated tourist traps. The $22 adult day-and-night ticket is about as steep as the Needle itself, and one's wait in line will often exceed the time spent at the top. The views are free and just as impressive atop the Columbia Tower nearby on Fifth Avenue.

The country's largest ferry system would have to be in a city surrounded by water. With twenty terminals, eight routes and over 15 million passengers a year, Washington State Ferries are both practical and fun. If you're considering hopping over to Bainbridge, Bremerton, Mercer or any of Seattle's interesting islands, a peaceful ferry ride is a far cry from sitting on a bridge in traffic.
