SAGA SHOP - Haust I Fall 2019

Icelandair Stopover 65 First Hill. For 10 years now, bibliophiles have been lining up to get into the classical Italian Renaissance Hotel (circa 1909) for the chance to curl up on a couch or sit in a wingback chair and read in silence. The only sound you’re likely to hear is the piano playing in the back- ground and the occasional murmur when readers order drinks. Libraries The city’s extensive public library system has 26 branch libraries located in neighborhoods across the city. The world-renowned Public Central Library, a steel and multi-faceted glass building in downtown Seattle (1000 Fourth Avenue), is a Seattle landmark. The Suzzallo Library at the University of Was- hington, with its neo-Gothic entrance and high soaring windows, was designed to look like a cathedral. It’s a place to worship books. With plenty of rain and overcast weather for much of the fall and winter months, there’s nothing better than curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee. Seattle has that covered. Icelandair flies to Seattle daily, year-round. Travel- ing from Europe, you have the opportunity to add a Stopover in Iceland at no additional airfare.
