A group of people are silhouetted at the end of a pier facing Seattle's waterfront, facing the water with the Olympic Mountains in the distance and the sun set turning the sky soft hues of orange and blue.

Seattle’s plethora of natural wonders + well-established arts community makes the city a perfect place for retreats and getaways.
