While its heyday may have been more than 20 years ago, it’s still alive and kicking today. Seattle’s vibrant music and entertainment scene made a name for itself in the 1990s, giving rise to bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Nirvana. There are more than 150 microbreweries scattered across the city, which makes it a beer connoisseur’s dream. Seattle is home to one of the best craft-beer scenes in the entire country. While Seattle undergoes one of the biggest construction projects in the nation-burying one of its main arteries 200 feet below ground-and Interstate 5 being a rush-hour parking lot, it’s still well worth the visit. As with most big cities, traffic is a problem here. While we often ride to get away from, or avoid, the hustle and bustle of city life, this city is worth making an exception for. Seattle is a great starting (or stopover) point for any motorcycle journey in the PNW. So here it is: The ultimate seven-day journey through the upper-left corner of the United States. The Pacific Northwest (PNW) is a motorcyclist’s playground. What a long, strange trip it’s been.Įven with all I’ve been privileged to see in the past year and a half, I still look back on my old stomping grounds with fond memories. I almost hit a camel in Morocco, and gang members shoved guns in my face in Brazil.

I quit my job, sold my things, and left Seattle to travel the entire world by motorcycle.Įighteen months later, I’ve covered almost 75,000 miles across four continents and 53 countries. If you only had seven days to cram in as much epic motorcycle traveling as possible, where would you start? I did what any reasonable person would do I didn’t settle for just seven days.
