Top 10 Cheapest Summer Getaways in the USA

Seattle, Washington

If humid weather and soaring hot temperatures are not your scene, head up to the cool climate of the Pacific Northwest this summer to experience much more comfortable weather in Seattle. Although the city has a reputation for rainy weather, its summers are quite dry. While you’re there, check out Pike Place Market for some fresh-caught fish, or sample some of the best ice cream in America at Salt & Straw.

Each of Seattle’s neighborhoods have their own charms and are generally quite reasonable in terms of food and lodgings. If you have the time, head to nearby Leavenworth for a day trip — it’s an adorable little town modeled on a European alpine village, with a scenic downtown area and plenty of German eateries.
