Check out new Wednesday excursion specials here!
Updated 9 August EXCURSIONS Seattle Washington boasts a wealth of cultural opportunities as well as being surrounded by some of the most stunning natural beauty the world has to offer. Delegates looking for entertainment or activities while visiting Seattle can find what they need by checking these links. We will also have a concierge at registration who can help with particular travel plans. For some of the more involved activities such as visiting the San Juans or Victoria BC via ferry or float plane, we recommend that you book early and work directly with the companies themselves. About Seattle
Downtown
Seattle
attractions
include the lively Pike Place Market, where
fresh produce, fish, and flowers are sold; the critically acclaimed new
central library building
designed by Rem Koolhaas; the Asian supermarket Uwajimaya
in the International District;
historic Pioneer Square and the historical undergound walking tour;
and
the
waterfront where
you
can
take
boat tours of Puget Sound.
The
waterfront
is
where you can catch ferries to Bainbridge and Vashon
islands. Although close enough to the city to function as suburbs, the
islands are an oasis of natural beauty with a slower pace of life.
Also
worth
visiting
are the boat locks and fish ladder,
where you can see salmon swimming upstream to spawn.
One
popular
way
to get a quick view of the city's major attractions is
to take an amphibious duck tour.
Like any major city, Seattle also has a vibrant nightlife, a great local
music scene, lots of good restaurants, major league sports, museums and performance spaces. Feel
free to ask at the ICMPC11 Information Desk about activities that might
appeal to your interests. For more information,
see: City of Seattle guide for visitors Seattle guide from Seanet Corp.
As you are planning your recreational time for Wednesday, we wanted to make you aware of a few special rates for ICMPC participants at several Seattle attractions. Please note that ICMPC attendees are responsible for making necessary reservations and arrangements directly with the various venues.
