Best Places is the original guidebook series to Seattle and the Pacific Northwest, started in 1986. Best Places editors and reviewers are all local residents who know and love the city, which makes for more trustworthy content. Restaurants are reviewed with a 4-star rating system—all are recommended (if it’s not recommended, it’s not in the book). Now with 300+ shopping reviews, Best Places Seattle serves residents and visitors. Three Day Tours offer up getaway itineraries for the length of time most people currently take for vacations, and a simple icon system calls out bargain, family-friendly, romantic, and uniquely Seattle establishments.
