Summer highlights include big outdoor celebrations such as Seattle International Beerfest and Bumbershoot Music and Arts Festival.
Seattle has a robust public transit system, with light rail trains, buses, and two streetcar lines.

If you’re short on time, you can just head straight to the on-site factory shop, where you can buy special chocolate items not available in retail stores, such as the Peppermint Polly, a thick, oversized peppermint cream covered with dark chocolate.
