Who Lives In Seattle?

[Gwommy]

Anyone here live in Seattle? I'll be visiting there from June 27 to July 3. Anyone got a guest room? Or I'll just settle for suggestions of things to do or places to visit.

Re: Who Lives In Seattle?

I live in Seattle. Don't got a guest room or you, but endless suggestions.

Here's the usual "signature" Seattle stuff to do.


The Space Needle: Seattle & The Space Needle go hand-in-hand. If you're new to Seattle, this is one of the obvious places to visit. Just don't eat at the restaurant up top, it's expensive and not very good.

Pike Place Market: You've probably seen the whole "throw and catch the fish" thing. That's here. If you get panic attacks from large crowds, this is the place to avoid. It gets packed on weekends and in Summer. But it's one of the key experiences to have. It's like an open street market with vendors and tourists everywhere. Below the Market is a tiny-believed-to-be-haunted mall, that also has shops with lots of Seattle-related gift shops.

Experience Music Project: It's the silly looking building right next to the Space Needle. I haven't been here in like 5-ish years. I remember it was pretty expensive to get inside, but it was very cool, and well worth it if you're a music buff. It's pretty much a state-of-the art interactive music museum.

The Waterfront: Located a block down from the Pike Place Market. There's quite a few tourist stuff to see here too. There's the Seattle Aquarium (just in case you have the urgent need to see a baby seal), and many shops. One shop you can't miss is "Ye Olde Curiousity Shoppe". I highly recommend that shop.

Those are the key hot spots (all within 5 minutes of each other) in Seattle. There's also a ton of attractions around Seattle too.

Lakeview Cemetary: Graves of Bruce & Brandon Lee
Golden Gardens: Our only beach (aside from Alki on the West end) Cool place at night.
Pioneer Square: Seattle nightlife. Pretty much a dozen clubs.
Alki Beach: West Seattle. Good view of the city from across the lake. (Most Seattle Post-cards are taken here)
The Fremont Troll: A lesser known but very cool sight. It's a large troll sculpted under a bridge, with like a hubcap eye and a VW beetle in its hand. You should google it.
Ride-The-Ducks: Tourists always use this. It's a tour of Seattle in some WWII vehicle that can goes both on the road and over the lake. We usually laugh at the tourists on it, but secretly deep inside we're jealous.
The Ferry: My visiting relative loved it. Probably because she's never been on one before.
The Seattle Public Library: If you like creative architectual designs this place is cool. But aside from that, it's just a library.

Thanks, Pinoy. I'm sure I'll find that very useful.

Re: Who Lives In Seattle?

Don't live there, Mr. Purple.

I live in Virginia...which I wish I didn't live now after yesterday.

Re: Who Lives In Seattle?

Well, I made it to Seattle. So far, so good. I took your advice, Pinoy, and visited the Freemont Troll. Pretty cool. Here's a pic:

Did it kill your friend?

Re: Who Lives In Seattle?

That's bigger than most of the trolls here.

Re: Who Lives In Seattle?

I thought about living near Seattle... not in it, I hate crowded areas. Of course, that's assuming it gets as much rain as I hear it does.
