Historic landmarks and Pinterest-perfect views make Seattle the must-visit destination it is\u2014but old buildings and steep hills aren\u2019t always known for being easy to access for those who use a mobility aid. Fortunately, the city\u2019s major attractions all have a degree of accessibility that will meet most travelers\u2019 expectations, says John Morris, an accessible travel consultant and founder of wheelchairtravel.org.<\/p>\n
To find the best path for getting from one place to another, check out accessmap.io, an online travel planner that recommends accessible routes. City buses\u2014or Morris\u2019s personal favorite, the Link light rail (soundtransit.org)\u2014are simple to board. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to roll on and off the trains,\u201d he says. \u201cThere\u2019s no gap or barrier that is at all significant.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also, a new program in town from Bird (bird.co) has partnered with Scootaround to loan accessible vehicles\u2014including the high-tech WHILL Model Ci2 power chair\u2014through the Bird app for $10 a day.<\/p>\n
