Life Things you can't miss in Seattle - Page 3

I lived there for eight year and if you are into history they have a place called the underground. If you are into driving this is the time of the year when they have the tulip festival in Skagit Valley. Literally hundreds of acres of blooming tulips really cool.

Haven't been there in nearly 30 years but enjoyed it when I lived in the NW. Seriously thinking of heading up there in December for the game. My brother is a huge Seahawks fan, it would be fun to go together!

Gotta take a ride on one of the ferry boats preferably to Vancouver island
if you have time.
It doesn't really rain Seattle, just a delightful mist, not a real rain, but it's overcast/cloudy much of the time except during the summer.
Seattle is the only city I've every been in where you look around from downtown and you feel you are in the middle of a national park with the spectacular veiws of Mt Ranier and MT Olympus.

Go somewhere, anywhere, out of the city. Snoqualmie Falls, Deception Pass are both decent day trips.

And yes, Bag O' Dicks.

Thanks for the recs, all. Definitely sounds like I should consider getting out of town for a day, so I'll check out the options!

Honestly there is a lot to see in the City itself if you have a high threshold for beggars if you dont GTF outta there. I worked a month inside that City on pipeline work 10 hour days the panhandling never lets up. It is for people like that that Winchester invented the repeating arms rifle. The Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum is pretty cool along with other stuff mentioned in City proper. Good luck keep the cornhole puckered tight.

Go check out a pier and grab a Ivar's fish and chips to eat. When out on the pier be sure to watch the Asians keep every crab they pull up with their basket regardless of the regulations. They crab in groups of like 10 or so.

Buzz Inn is a good place to eat, drink and play pull tabs

Stay away from Salty's on Alki Beach unless you like piss warm beer.

If you want a great Dinning experience check out Metropolitan Grill

There is a Popeye's in Fedral Way

Spent a day there after a cruise. Did the market, Space Needle, and underground tour. Stayed downtown at the Mayflower Park, nice hotel with a great central location (walk to market, monorail to Space Needle, train system as well).

Make sure you check out Starbucks, Costco, Microsoft, and Amazon.com.
