Although we’ve posted about the Bellevue Botanical Garden before, it is worth a special mention during this time of winter holidays. Constructed of half a million tiny lights, the Bellevue Botanical Garden d’Lights has to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.

We’re not talking about lights draped over plants, although there are a handful of those, too. There are hundreds of light sculptures, meticulously crafted by hand, setup around the garden’s grounds like a magical forest.

So take the family, take your friends, and visit one of the most wonderful sights of the season. And don’t forget to leave a donation.

The single most popular request made by our clients during a limousine ride is to be taken on a scenic drive. While Washington state is covered in beautiful scenery, not many places close to our metropolitan service area are truly scenic.

Many people have the same favorite requests, the most popular being cruising around Alki Point. Another popular choice for easy scenery is driving across Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood. It seems that the most popular sight around is downtown Seattle, since it is the main visual attraction in both of those destinations.

We think the cityscape is beautiful, too, which is why when we are driving to downtown Seattle from the airport, we usually enter the city via the Alaskan Way Viaduct. This highway steers you literally right next to the city, providing an “in your face” view that has to be experienced with someone else driving to fully appreciate the beauty. We’ll be sad if the Alaskan Way viaduct is replaced with a tunnel or surface street.

You read that right: Starwood Hotel & Resorts, which owns the Westin and W hotels among others, is discounting some rooms 50% in a new price-slashing promotion designed to stimulate occupancy. However, according to this article, this could be the wrong formula for the long-term health of the hotel industry.

This offer won’t last, so take advantage of it while you can. You can even have a staycation right here in Washington—the W Seattle is amazing and is worth every dollar, er, fifty cents.

Named “Best Park in the Northwest” by King 5’s 2009 Northwest Escapes contest, Bellevue Botanical Garden is a beautiful setting for wedding pictures or a picnic.

As one of the few botanical gardens in the world that has no visitor fee, all you need to enjoy the beauty of the Bellevue Botanical Garden is transportation and a good pair of walking shoes.

As an added bonus, the park is ornately decorated with lights in the winter. Make sure to take an afternoon and visit one of the northwest’s crown jewels, the Bellevue Botanical Garden.

When’s the last time you took a trip to the Seattle Aquarium? We just dropped some prom clients at this venue, and remembered how cool it is! Not just an aquarium, this space can be rented out for private parties; some of the Rare Form Limousine staff even spent New Year’s Eve 2009 at this diverse attraction.

In addition to the usual aquatic displays, the Seattle Aquarium can be rented out as an event facility. Located on Seattle’s Pier 59, the Seattle Aquarium should be on your list of things to see in Seattle.
