Emily Williams, dnata Travel’s resident globetrotter, reveals the best places to hop on a plane to this month
Seattle
It's an excellent time to visit Seattle, with its sunny weather and variety of outdoor events. In August alone, there's Seattle Art Fair, Watershed (a country music festival) an air show, car show, film festival, and even a salmon festival. Famous for its coffee culture – the world’s first Starbucks opened here at the popular Pike Place Market – this Washington city is also a great spot for whale watching around the San Juan Islands. Highlights 1 Uncover a host of oddities, including shrunken heads and washed-up mermaids, at the century-old Ye Olde Curiosity Shop. 2 Take to the sky with a scenic seaplane tour and experience the Emerald City from above. 3 Go north and pay a visit to the 18-foot-tall stone troll that lives under Aurora Avenue Bridge. With any luck, he shall let you pass.
