Travel series. Vogue Williams and Tommy Bowe head to Seattle, Washington, where they enjoy a whale-watching trip and grab a coffee at the original Starbucks store.
Presented by Tommy Bowe and Vogue Williams. The new series kicks off in the USA in the city of Seattle. Tommy gets his bearings from the top of the iconic Space Needle, before taking to the skies on a seaplane for the very best view of the city. The Chihuly Garden with its glass sculptures captures Vogue's imagination, as does MoPOP, the very cool Museum of Popular Culture. The duo head out to sea on a whale-watching trip, grab a coffee at the original Starbucks store, throw fish at Pike Place Market and visit the city's stickiest attraction, the Gum Wall. In this week's short Getaway, Joe Lindsay visits Dungarvan's farmers' market with local chef Paul Flynn, and takes in the majestic Mahon Falls with its magic road en route.

The Space Needle
Built in 1962, the Space Needle served as the symbol for the World's Fair. It has since become an icon for Seattle and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. It towers 605 feet above ground, with amazing views in every direction. From the snow-capped Cascade Mountains to the east, to the majestic Olympic Mountains in the west, there is inspiration aplenty from this perch. Visit www.spaceneedle.com
