Agreed. I switched some things around and bought myself some more time on Sunday by pushing my Return flight back to 7pm.

Here's my near-final agenda:

Day 1:
1) Pike Place
2) Argosy Cruise - Seattle Harbor Tour
3) Pioneer Square/Smith Tower Observation Deck
4) Dinner in Belltown

Day 2:
1) Seattle Center (Needle, EMP, Pacific Science Center)
2) Paseo
3) Woodland Park Zoo
4) Gas Works Park
5) U of W if there's time

Day 3:
1) Water taxi to Alki Beach
2) Salty's
3) Olympic Structure Park
4) Kerry Park

LOL. Sorry to jack thread.

But I've been to a couple of Malls in LA, and it's all the same stuff.  It was dead as heck too.  What do people do? LOLZ

Also, I seen choke people at home depot standing out there.  I think they were looking for work?

Im just looking for cool activites, chill stuff to do.  Will have a minor if that matters.  I kind of stopped drinking already.

Revised agenda... ditched the Aquarium & Smith Tower. definitely excited for the trip, there seems to be so many affordable things to do in Seattle to have a simple, great time! Tons of parks, attractions, waterfront views, restaurants, coffee shops and from what i'm hearing a lot of eccentric, liberal folks + hipsters. my sister suggested some speakeasy's & bar/lounges, but frankly i doubt we'll have the time or energy to go after each packed day's schedule.

Friday 5/18:

1) Pike Place (piroshky piroshky, la panier, starbucks, gum wall, fish market, Ivar's nearby)

2) Argosy Cruises

3) Columbia Center Observation Deck

4) Pioneer Square

5) Japonessa

6) Molly Moon's

7) Walk around Belltown

Space Needle during nighttime

9) Check in at Hotel

10) ****'s Drive-In (across the street! woot)

Saturday:

1) Citizen Cafe

2) Kerry Park

3) Seattle Center (EMP, Space Needle, Pacific Science Museum)

4) Paseo

5) Woodland Zoo

6) Gas Works Park

7) The Fremont Troll

Toulouse Petit

9) Kerry Park @ night

Sunday:

1) Salty's

2) Alki Beach

3) Olympic Sculpture Park

4) Walk around Capitol Hill area

5) Go home!


Luckily my woman enjoys walking (and needs it *cough*), so the trip should be fine. i've been lifting + running 6 miles a day to prepare for the upcoming gluttony. my body is ready

Hey, I'm going to Seattle in Sept. Did you ever do a recap post? I tried searching for it, but can't find it.

If you like Thai food then you gotta hit up Naam (1404 34th Ave). I go there every time I drive down to Seattle.

 

[trunks206]

I'll be headed to Seattle late March. This thread has been extremely helpful. My wife booked Hotel5 for us. Looks nice and she claims location is good. (Third night free is what sold me). Anyone have opinions on that location, 5th st?

Thanks to andy206 for pointing me here.

That's Belltown (although not in the heart of it). It's a quick walk to 1st and 2nd Ave in Belltown, which is where all the bars and restaurants are. To Downtown, it's a little bit longer walk, but not bad. You'll walk underneath the monorail tracks, and those lead you right to Westlake/Nordstrom and the retail core.

this is great! you guys all also helped me planned my trip. I will be there march 28-apr. 1 and 1 day in Vancouver BC. I have one question, what is the best place to take the girlfriend out for a birthday dinner?

 

[ogkbj16]

Don't know if anyone has said this, but you could try to hit up downtown bellevue, it is the nicer part of washington. Has a lot of shops and restaurants and nightlife. Kind of expensive though...

What's your price range like?

if you like sushi, check out Shiro's. The same sushi chef from the Netflix documentary "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" works there.

Shiro and the guy you speak of both were apprentices under Jiro. So it's really one of the best sushi restaurants in America.

Bellevue is weak brah. Especially after munchbar closed. Horrible traffic. Stuck up rich white people. Stay in the Seattle area. From Northgate to Alki your solid
