3 Reasons why You Must Visit Seattle

With Seattle being known for its non-stop rain or the birth of grunge, the truth is that it receives just as much rainfall as New York does – only for nine months of the year.

Yet while the locals don’t mind the fact that this keeps the tourists to a minimum, there are a number of reasons why Seattle is a great place.

So, here are 3 reasons why you should visit Seattle:

#1: Art and Museums

There are a number of museums to visit when in Seattle with the Seattle Art Museum being the most popular of them all. An added benefit of visiting this museum is the Olympic Sculpture Park that the museum also manages. Other options include the Seattle Asian Art Museum, Museum of History and Industry and Nordic Heritage Museum.

#2: Hempfest

One of the best reason to visit Seattle in August is because of the Hempfest, especially if you are a pot aficionado. Even if Colorado as well as Washington allowed the possession of cannabis since 2012, this festival still continues to promote the benefits of cannabis. It usually runs for three days at the Myrtle Edwards Park.

#3: Great Music

What you can expect is a lot of great music apart from Nirvana and Pearl Jam. In fact, one can easily expect KEXP, the city’s most popular radio station, to continue to play great music even though the era of grunge is all but over. You can visit the Paramount Theatre for great concerts or even the Experience Music Project to learn more about pop culture or music history.
