Things to do in Seattle
I'm heading to Seattle this weekend. Any thoughts as to what I should do up there?

You've got to check out the low flying fish at Pike Place Fish Market!

Drink coffee.
More seriously, visit Pikes Place Fish Market. [edit: kgsilvas snuck in while I was looking up the link.  ]

Another vote for Pike Place Market. Also I'm a big fan of the waterfront, just walking along it is very relaxing.

Pike Place Market is alright. Nothing THAT exciting, but it's definitely something to do. The Space Needle is another tourist attraction and the Experience Music Project (http://www.emplive.org/) is kind of cool too and nearby. The architecture is sweet (designed by Frank Gehry). If I remember correctly, the monorail is close to the Space Needle/EMP and you can take it to get within walking distance of Pike Place.

Honestly I don't think there are that many pedestrian things to do in Seattle. I don't Pike Place is awesome or anything, but it is certainly something to do.

or Seattle's Best Coffee. There's also a restaurant in the Space Needle you can check out with a 360- degree view that slowly rotates.

Currently sitting in the airport waiting for my red eye back to the east coast. Last 5 days have been great. Seattle is really a great city. There's water everywhere and I love the weather. Yes, it even rained on me but I liked it regardless. Hopefully I can get a job here in the two companies I came to see, but it was a fun time.
Pike Place is really cool. I thought it was just that one fish store that throws stuff (I saw them throw a very large fish and a bag of mussels at MLB fastball speed) but there's tons of cool stores in the area. Saw the cool central library and went to the aquarium (meh, not worth it). I also played some disc golf in a park in south Seattle. All in all it was a good trip. |
