Each year, TripAdvisor.com picks its favorite destinations around the world. This year’s 2011 Traveler’s Choice Awards picked Seattle as it’s #10 best destination in the US. Other top picks are New York City, and Hawaii. What makes Seattle stand out? The short article on Seattle highlights the Pike Place Market, the Space Needle, and watching boats go through the Ballard Locks. I would add shopping and dining in the Pike/Pine area of Capitol Hill, taking a float plane to Friday Harbor (via Kenmore Air) and watching the sun reflect off the downtown buildings at sunset from Hamilton Viewpoint Park in West Seattle.
If you were a tourist for a day in Seattle, what would you do or see?
