Visiting Seattle

This experience can be magnified greatly if you find entertainment that is inexpensive or free.

The good news is that this type of entertainment can be easily found in and around the Seattle area, here are some of the things you can do for free.

The first great place is one of those free places to visit.

Not only is it great fun but it is educational as well.

Hiram M. Chittenden Locks.

There is much to do during your trip to the locks why not walk in the gardens, watch the boats, visit the fish ladder (little ones will find this completely fascinating), and exploring the many exhibits in the area.

You can even go on a free guided tour between the months of March and November.

The Center for Wooden Boats Not only can you go and explore the boats for free, on Sundays at 2:00 (weather permitting) you can go sailing on one of these magnificent water crafts for absolutely no charge.

You can call ahead of time to check water conditions. Because of the popularity of this program it is wise to arrive at least one hour ahead of time in order to participate in the 2:00 sail.

There are some Sundays when other events conflict with the Sunday sail so call to be sure that the sail will be offered.

Of course, even without the Sunday sail the Center for Wooden Boats is still an excellent way to spend an afternoon dreaming about these fantastic toys.

Ebey's Landing National Historic Reserve.

This reserve was created in order to preserve the natural history of the land. Coupeville is a 19th Century town that has been preserved in an attempt to portray an accurate picture of what life here was like.

There is a museum, gift shop, several eateries, and an antique shop that line the once vibrant seaside town.

Then visit the Admiralty Head Lighthouse and many of the other attractions that abound.

You can take your car and drive the length of the reserve.

The drive is approximately 43 miles long and your driving time will depend greatly on the amount of time you spend exploring along the way. Other activities that you may enjoy while visiting Seattle Ebey's Landing include: biking, boating, camping, fishing, hiking, kayaking, nature walks, scuba diving, wildlife viewing, and bird watching.

Visiting this reserve is literally taking a step back in time and with so many great things to do for free, who would ever want to leave Seattle Washington?

The best news is that this is only a small glimpse of the great ways to have fun while visiting Seattle this unique and wonderful city.
