Insider tips for visitors to Seattle
Insider Seattle picks: Kerry Park for postcard views; Mt. Rainier from Sunrise (easier, via Enumclaw to Sunrise Rd or Chinook Pass); Snoqualmie Falls; King County Water Taxi to West Seattle from Pier 55 ($3, $1 with transfer); La Rustica, 4100 Beach Dr SW, for homey Italian—keep it secret.
