Well, if you lived close by then you probably have a good idea of what's around here.

I actually just ate in the space needle (restaurant up top) and I wouldn't recommend it. For the purpose of tourism it's fun, and the view is great. But, the food/service/restaurant is below standards for the cost. (35-50 dollar entrees + soup/salad). There are other nice restaurants with good views in the area that offer a better dining experience imo. If you want to go there it's definitely something unique so I'm just trying to let you be aware that you pay a lot for the experience/view rathre than the food/service. Not to say the food/service is bad... just for that price point.

Er, for views of the city.

Kerry Park: small lookout park located in queen anne. This is the view:


Gas Works Park: larger more open park...


There is the science center if you like that type of thing... some people do. There is the EMP. A bit overpriced perhaps but it's a unique little museum. Pike Place Market is really cool, and decidedly seattle.

Last I knew they were. That's a pretty big deal I think.

I fuckin' love seattle but I can never think of places to go when people ask... hmm.

theres an "adult version" tour that the guy offers as well! never did it, but had me curious... like wtf mate.

Cutters is a nice place to eat!! good view if you get a window seat. the Met (metropolitan grill) is fawkin awesome. expensive but amazing. itll score you some points.

You should check to see if there are any shows going on too... live music/comedy whatever.

The Olympic Sculpture park is pretty neat and you could walk down the on the waterfront and eat @ Anythonys Homeport. great view & good eats.
