Things you can't miss in Seattle

My wife and I are taking a quick weekend trip to Seattle at the end of the month. Only on the ground for 2.5 days, so we'll just be scraping the surface of the city, but any recommendations on things we can't miss while we're there?

Hobos and shit don't move somewhere because it's a Democrat city. They move there because it's not some god forsaken shithole like Topeka,KS.

I don't live in Seattle but I have an office there and I'm there about every other month or so.

Several people have talked about Museum of Pop Culture, which is a good recommendation. I would also suggest the Museum of Flight or the Art Museum. I also love the aquarium. They have a really cool Pacific Octopus exhibit. This is the Octopus that kept eating the sharks. They couldn't figure out where the sharks kept disappearing so they set up cameras and saw the Octopus eating them. Chihuly Garden has some fascinating glass. There are some museums near the Pop Culture Museum that I have read about but not seen. I did see the King Tut exhibit there when it came through the US a few years ago. This is down near the World's Fair park/pacific science center.

I've been to the top of the Space Needle and while the views are good, I wouldn't do it again. Seattle is one of the more interesting architectural cities. A few years ago my wife and I did a walking tour of Seattle architecture that was actually quite fascinating. Seattle's main public library, for example, gets a definite response. People either love it or hate it. Haven't been inside but have just seen it many times from the outside and I love it. A tour of Seattle underground is likewise informative and different.

Seattle also has some really good food. I prefer NW oysters to oysters from the Gulf of Mexico. They have a brinier, more mineral flavor. Gulf oysters taste flat and muddy to me. Elliott's on the waterfront has good oysters. The Walrus and Carpenter is also a good oyster house, but it's up in Ballard. Le Bateau is a great steakhouse. Well worth the price of admission, which can be steep. Crush has cutting edge food and wine. Wine tours are worth it for wineries just east of Seattle, including Chateau St. Michelle, a well-known winery. Pike Place Market, which is a sight worth seeing by itself, has lots of restaurants ranging from cheap to quality dining. Cafe Campagne right next to the market is a great French Bistro. Beecher's cheese headquarters is likewise down in that area. Pike Street brewing company in the market has a wide selection of beers and NW pub food. Try the Kilt Lifter Ale if you haven't had it before. Lark is another place serving contemporary American food that is quite excellent.

If you like cocktails, you have to go to Cannon Bar. I've never seen a bar with so many different kinds of liquor. Last time I was there, their liquor list went more than 120 pages. They have a wide variety of cocktails and if you don't see one you like, just tell the bartender what you do like and they'll make up something on the spot. Never had a bad drink there.

Unfortunately, I have to go back in August for a Cruise to Alaska. I'll be staying at the Hotel Theodore (was the Roosevelt). We plan on getting a driver from the Airport to the Hotel, spend the night and get the hell out of there the next day.
Where you headed in Alaska? PM me and I will try to give you some recommendations. And if you don't want to stay downtown in Seattle, check out Cedarbrook Lodge, a 5 minute ride from the airport. Quiet and luxurious with a great restaurant. You won't feel like you are near the airport. I try to stay there if I'm just overnighting while waiting for flights.

If you're pretty set at the Theodore, that's right across the street from the Grand Hyatt where I usually stay. Seattle doesn't seem to have a lot of restaurants open late but there is one right across from the Hyatt. Dragonfish Cafe. They have a good bar and low priced food after 9:00. You might not have this issue but if I catch a plane at 5:30 from Anchorage, I won't get to the hotel until about 10:30 Seattle time and there isn't much open so I usually hop across the Street to Dragonfish. If you like Asian cuisine, you'll like Dragonfish.

Does it really need explained why a homeless person would choose a place to live that has tolerable weather, higher amount of resources spent on said homeless people, and fewer amount of resources spent to persecuting this segment of the populatuon?

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.

So much water and mountains in Seattle, love it.
Yes we did that and went and saw the whales. You would be surprised how fun it is to see those bastards and their blowholes. If you are lucky maybe one will even flop out of the water and splash.

They were gone the day we were there. But all the seals, bald eagles, salmon and fried egg jelly fish made for an incredible day too.

Plus, what an absolutely beautiful place San Juan Island is...

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!
