Seattle is the largest city in the Pacific Northwest, and entered the popular consciousness as the home of grunge rock and gourmet coffee, but the city's appeal transcends $4 lattes. Seattle has a lot to offer the traveler: the Pike Place Market (where you can catch a "flying fish"), a Rem Koolhaas-designed library, the iconic Space Needle, the new Experience Music Project, and many small museums. Seattle's live music scene also continues to thrive. Nirvana's original label, Sub Pop, has been nurturing local newcomers like Death Cab for Cutie and the Shins.  Seattleites soak up the city's offering--and the famous rain--with a mellow satisfaction despite all the coffee. This might have something to do with their education: Seattle has been named America's most literate major city, and has an impressively high percentage of college graduates. While Kurt Cobain is gone (R.I.P.), you may be able to find nirvana in this rainy--and brainy--city anyway.

I love this city!  I've been here numerous times and I always find lots of new things to do and different areas to explore.  Although it can be kind of hard to find, the Freemont Troll is cool to see as well as Gas Works Park.  Some Seattle events to check out are Bumbershoot (a music and arts festival), the everchanging exhibits at the EMP, and Winterfest at the Seattle Center.
