Most-Visited U.S. Cities

Well I enjoyed it. Maybe you're taking your home city for granted!

Steve Miller went from Phoenix, Arizona to Tacoma and U-turned straight for Philadelphia, Atlanta and L.A. instead of continuing to Seattle.

I enjoyed my visit to Seattle a few years ago

If its so bad why did Frasier move from Boston !

I visited a couple friends there in 2001. One of them was attending DigiPen and toured me around the school and we went over to Nintendo of America as well and GameWorks downtown. I saw Pike's Place Market and the original Starbucks with the other friend and went to some nightclubs and the park with the Space Needle. I enjoyed the moody atmospherics of constant overcast drizzling which matched my mindset at the time and complimented the music I was listening to then. Wasn't a bad weekend. I don't remember what I spent on hotels but I think I got something through Priceline back when the only option was still to name your own price and I'm sure it was much less than $250. Probably closer to 35 or 40 I rarely paid more than that for hotels those days.

I was in Seattle about three weeks ago and enjoyed the visit but the traffic in the downtown area was horrendous! There also seemed to be a huge amount of long term construction work going on which was causing chaos. Hopefully it will all be sorted eventually but it may take a while.

Sounds like Frankfurt for me as a german ;)

I live a 4, almost 5, hour drive away from you.

I live in Washington. This is just not true. Maybe not just Seattle, but Washington is an extremely beautiful and nice place. Seattle not as much, but it's still pretty cool not going to lie.

Just like there are no houses available in Tuscany, eh?

Just got back. Great art museums, great zoo, fun vibe. Take public transportation or uber; don't drive.

Seattle is a cool place to visit. I liked Seattle itself more than Vancouver BC. The nature virtually anywhere in BC is much more of a draw to me than the nature in Washington state, but when we're talking strictly about cities I'd rather visit Seattle again than Vancouver. The view of Mount Ranier from the city is incredible, although the gimmicky tourist draws like Pike Place and the Space Needle are overrated. Otherwise it's a fun place to explore.

It's better than anywhere else I've been in the US by a wide margin, barring maybe Charlotte Amalie.

Cheap compared to Boston

Flagstaff is probably because of the Grand Canyon.

I personally am not able to see how Flagstaff or Buffalo could have made the list without counting Canadians. Less hard to believe, but still makes me think Canadians were counted is Phoenix.

hah, that's interesting! A quiz about the US that's harder for americans than non-americans. I had to really think about which cities had interesting things in them, and still missed five

Yeah, like what the heck is in Buffalo?

Agree completely. I have never appreciated being given the answers for any reason. If it belongs on the quiz then I deserve the chance to figure it out.

Yeah, it's very annoying when they fill in Cologne-Dusseldorf and the Ruhr on city quizzes as well.

They are in an urban area of a different city.

Really good question xD

I looked it up and the airport for Buffalo and Niagara Falls is shared, but closer to Buffalo (though not technically in Buffalo)

I am not sure of the actual reason. But it could be because of its proximity to the grand canyon, I think.

And it is crossed by route 66

Definitely for the Grand Canyon. There's no other reason. Likewise Niagara Falls for Buffalo.

Flagstaff has the Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon.

Some people drive from Los Angeles since there aren't many international flights into Phoenix. In that case, from personal experience, I can tell you that Phoenix is not on that route at all...
