We are ticketed for our cross country trip in the summer of 2014. Having never been to Seattle;, as soon as we step off the Empire Builder, its new territory for us to explore.
We are having trouble locating a rental car, nice hotels and restaurants so I have a few questions that I hope that members can help us with. There are no car rental counters at King Street Station, so what franchises are there and where can we find a car? We want to stay at a hotel in an area like Chicago's Streetervile/ Magnificent Mile or New York City's Fifth Ave/Rockefeller Center area. Where are the nicer hotels located? Finding good gourmet quality restaurants are also a concern. Also where can you get a good cup of Espresso in this town? What are the "must see" point of interests even those that a day trip would reach . Is it worth taking a separate side trip to Vancouver on the Cascades?
Any suggestions, and/or opinions are appreciated.
