WASHINGTON
The Seattle/Tacoma area is home base to Boeing. Take a tour of
The Boeing Company/Future of Flight Aviation Center. Also The
Museum of Flight has a rich collection of exhibits and programs.
The Seattle music scene is one of the most diverse in North America.
From alternative rock and grunge, to jazz and underground hip-hop,
music was, and still is one of Seattle's gifts to the world. Multiple
Grammy winners Quincy Jones, Nirvana and Kenny G all grew up in
Seattle.
But arguably the best guitarist of all time, Jimi Hendrix hails from
Seattle and there are tributes all over town touting the accomplishments
of this musical genius. Check out Jimi Hendrix: An Evolution of Sound
at the EMP Museum.
For Black history the Northwest African American Museum is a great
place to start.
Spokane Falls and the 100-acre Riverfront Park are among the best
sight seeing attractions in the Pacific Northwest.
