National Biotechnology Conference 2009 Preliminary Program - (Page 27) ‘Points of Interest’ in Seattle Seattle is anything but ordinary. It’s a place where bike messengers share elevators with world-renowned researchers. Where fishermen have lunch alongside top surgeons. It’s a city where the extraordinary is commonplace and commonplace is anything but. And if you look closely, you just might discover that in Seattle there are amazing things happening all around you. From a jet engine to an espresso machine to grunge rock, Seattle’s world-changing events have all had a distinct sound. But the symphony doesn't end there. Your visit to Seattle may bring you the sound of an orca blowing as it surfaces, the roar of the crowd at Safeco Field or the near silence of the Olympic rainforest. Come to Seattle and hear for yourself. Whether you’re up for a river rafting trip, or a quiet afternoon on a wine tasting tour, Seattle has something for everyone. And don’t forget about the Space Needle and Pike Place Market, famous for the flying fish. Visit www.visitseattle.org for useful information that will assist you in planning your trip.
