Five of the Best Spring Break Travel Destinations for 2019
1. Seattle
Seattle is the perfect city for the modern, no-frills traveler who appreciates a healthy balance of tradition and change.

Come prepared to do some shopping, some water-gazing, and – of course – LOTS of coffee drinking.
Must-Sees
