Family attractions are pretty much everywhere in and around the city. The Center of Seattle has a children’s museum, and interactive science center. Around Green Lake (center), children can go inline-skating, ride a bicycle or jog. There are parks everywhere. Sports fans enjoy the Seattle Mariners, Sea Hawks, Thunderbirds and Supersonics. A new indoor stadium hosts baseball and football teams. Each of Seattle’s hills has its own history and special character. For instance, Queen Anne Hill is a charming little village within the city with theater, restaurants and shopping.
