Seattle First Takes

First-time experiences are always powerful, especially in the world of travel. In our Seattle First Takes film series, we invited first-time visitors to Seattle and had them explore the city through the five senses—the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and textures that only Seattle can offer. We filmed their journeys and their recollections, creating an immersive glimpse into the city for all to enjoy. It’s waiting for you at VISITSEATTLE.tv.

Be sure to view Season 3 featuring international visitors from France, Germany, China, Japan, and South Korea.
