Google Maps recently released data on the most-searched attractions in our region during the summer.
Looking for the hottest Seattle spots to play, dine and drink in the summertime? Google Maps can help with that.
The company recently released the most-searched attractions in our region, based on data from summer 2016. The trending locations were measured by comparing “the total number of directions requests during summer to the total number of directions requests before and after summer,” a Google representative said in an email. “The categories with the highest ratio increase during summer are considered top trending places.”
Some of these attractions can be enjoyed year-round, of course. But they’re all arguably better under the summer sun.
