Written by local reviewers, Best Places guides let travelers in on the best a city or region has to offer. A listing in a Best Places guide is coveted. To get one star is an honor. To get four stars is extremely rare and guaranteed to be the créme de la créme. While other guides give readers choices, Best Places distinguishes itself by providing vacationers with the absolute best choices and stands by its guides with a money-back guarantee. Best Places Seattle is a stalwart member of the Best Places series and is the smartest guide to one of the hottest cities in America. Useful icons indicate which places are family-oriented, of great value, romantic, or simply unique to Seattle. And, of course, there's the always-changing, star-rated list of the top 200 restaurants in the city. Completely updated and revamped, this new edition provides invaluable information and helpful advice for anyone traveling to Seattle.
