Seattle is an ideal destination in the fall. Tree-lined streets and waterfront parks burst into shades of crimson, amber and gold, while cool air carries the scents of roasted coffee, saltwater and evergreen. Autumn also marks the start of Seattle’s cultural season, with the Seattle Symphony, Pacific Northwest Ballet and local theaters presenting standout performances. Visitors can explore Pike Place Market, tour nearby wine regions, or take a ferry across Puget Sound to enjoy striking views of fall foliage.
