Well, Seattle is awesome. Their weekly – The Stranger – has list of things to do, and also unusual things to do.
Here’s a photo album with some of the places I’ve visited over the years.
You should eat at Dick’s Drive-In, kinda like Cook-Out
There’s a tasty vegetarian cafe called Cafe Flora – I think they might also be in the airport?
Drink at Skål Beer Hall, visit the Troll in Fremont, also in Fremont there’s a chocolate factory with a tour and a brontosaur. Oh also Fremont there’s a statue of Lenin (?) I think. Fremont is the center of the known universe after all.
Swing by kexp’s gathering space for a cuppa and to hang out at a pretty cool radio station. If the tiles are up then cool – Blood made a gift to me of one!
A cool tour of an classic ‘tall building’ from a by-gone era – The Smith Tower has a tour, observatory and bar.
If you stroll from Pike Place market to the Smith Tower grab a free chocolate at Fran’s in the lobby of the Four Seasons hotel.
Life on Mars bar has plant based pub fare and a wall of vinyl – pick something during happy hour and they might play it.
Seattle Art Museum (SAM), Olympic Sculpture Garden, Sunset Park in Ballard, Nordic Culture Museum in Ballard.
Tacoma (an hour or so south) has both a very cool Glass museum and a very cool car museum.
Oh – Kubota gardens is lovely, and when I looked for this past July’s visit it’s all wow – so many parks!
Ok – wanted to make sure you had a list of things to think about doing for your trek – hope you have a great time.
ciao,
Scott
