Things to do / Travel Guide

  • Seattle has figured prominently in some very well-known film and television ventures, such as “Twin Peaks” (which was filmed in the towns of North Bend and Snoqualmie), “Frasier,” “Grey's Anatomy,” “Sleepless in Seattle,” “Disclosure,” “Ten Things I Hate About You,” and “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.”
  • You can see one of the homes belonging to Microsoft founder Bill Gates (the one that is built underground in the side of a sloping bank), from a boat out on the waters of Puget Sound, near Bellevue. There are probably very good reasons why Bill Gates has built a giant, state-of-the-art, electronically-controlled house built underground when you own waterfront property along the Puget Sound.
