Old Photos Tell The Story of a City: Seattle

You know what they say: a picture is worth a thousand words. This statement rings especially true when it comes to the great cities of our nation.

Fun Around The City

Surrounded by beautiful mountains for hiking and bodies of water for frolicking, Seattleites have been taking to the great outdoors for years. Combined with the unique culture that the city has to offer, one could do a lot worse when finding something fun to do.
