Sure we Seattleites are known to be outdoorsy types but sometimes a day inside is just what is called for. So when the great indoors is calling you-- visit this collection of fantastic museums.
SAM hosts an expansive permanent collection and blockbuster exhibits. I favor contemporary art but the African and porcelain galleries are decidely worth a visit.
