Seattle has quietly earned its pace as one of America’s premier cities, with a vibrant and thriving economy, a colorful and expanding arts scene, and some of the most beautiful natural vistas of anywhere in the country.

Whether you’re a newly-transplanted arrival hoping to find all the best that the city has to offer or an old-school Seattleite who’s looking for something new in a city that never runs out of surprises, there’s always plenty of fun things to do on a weekend in Seattle. If you’re looking for an adventure that’ll be fun for you or your whole family, here are some places you should check out.

Museum of Flight

The great thing about Seattle luxury real estate is that you’re always a short distance away from incredible and educational attractions like the Seattle Museum of Flight. Located just a short drive south of the city proper, the Museum of Flight is the largest private air and space museum in the world.

It contains some of the most breathtaking exhibits that will be enlightening and inspiring to any flight enthusiast and its famed Great Gallery will give you up-close views of some of the rarest aircraft on earth. Whether you want to see the early jets, look at military marvels, or take a walk through the very first presidential jet, the Museum of Flight will bring history alive for you and for your family.

Green Lake Park

One of the biggest advantages that Seattle has over other big cities is its natural beauty. While New Yorkers have to content themselves with the sad, shriveled trees that line their sidewalks on the commute to work, Seattleites get to have incredible access to world-class parks and nature areas. Green Lake Park is one of the best, with a beautiful placid lake in the middle and plenty of open-air cafes nearby.
