I always play count the beautiful women when I'm in Seattle. View Quote This. First thing I noticed when I was in Washington last time I was there was "Holy shit there are so many in shape and attractive women up here." They bay area doesn't have too many of those and those that do exist are mostly either taken or sluts |

I do have a car. Likes market was suggested so I'll definitely check it out.

Museum of flight. Worthy it fur the Blackbird, Concorde, Corsairs.
Pikes market if you like extremely crowded places. I can't spell it, but there's a large Asian mall, Owieamya is how it sounds. Good for Asian bird watching. ;) Otherwise, you can kill a day on the tourist trap wharf easy. Lits of cool stuff ther |

Quoted: You missed Hempfest by a week View Quote Hempfest is in August, but the pot heads will use any excuse to get high. HSDM was just in town for a day http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_1_5/1615853_In_Seattle__WA_for_the_day.html |

We have more than our fair share of hot outdoorsy women here in Boise :). So unless there are any smoking hot hotties at any of the gentleman's clubs I probably just oogle and move on.

Get up to Everett and check out Boeing. Will do. What is there to see? Tour of the facility. http://www.boeing.com/boeing/commercial/tours/index.page Very cool. Will do. |
|
Or just do the regular tourist stuff like visit Pike St. Market and Seattle Center.
|
|
Buy Russell Wilson a hooker,not one from Seattle though,have one flown in from FL or something.

There is a florist shop named "Young Flowers." In the courtyard, right next to the shop in front of the Starbucks are Robert Graham's "dance column 1 and 2", two small bronze sculptures of nude female dancers, complete with hairless cameltoes.
Not worth making a special trip, but if you happen to be at 3rd and Spring, you should sneak a peek. I always thought it was funny given the name of the flower shop. |

Check out Pike Place Market and the water front. Also, if you have time the EMP is good for a few hours of entertainment.
If you have kids, the Pacific Science Center is cool and they have an IMAX Theater. Right now the are showing: - D-Day 3D: Normandy 1944 - Journey To The South Pacific 3D - Island of Lemurs: Madagascar 3D - Transcendence: The IMAX Experience Edit: Check out Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub. Is downtown in Post Alley. |

Go see Albert at Seattle Edge, I promise you it will be worth it. If you can't, at least send a knife to him. He's a member on another forum I belong to, great guy.

The Rangers are playing 3 games against the Mariners in Seattle this weekend. I always thought their ballpark looked pretty cool.

EMP is a good time. The piers/pikes place market. LeMay Car Museum. The Crab Pot for food or do the dinner Argosy cruise. Pyramid Ale House, or if you have a car go to the RedHook Brewery in Woodinville. The Glass Museum in Tacoma is supposed to be cool. Gun wise I dont know about Seattle actual but south a little ways you have Surplus Ammo & Arms Tacoma store and right down the street from that is the Bullseye.

If you are on the water front and want some crab, hit up The Crab Pot.

I like Pike Place Market.
I've heard about the Weyerhaeuser bonsai collection and I'm a big fan of the little trees. It is apparently in Federal Way, but I was always on too tight a schedule to see it. Was the Kalakala ever fixed up? It was an art deco ferry from the 30's. - Never mind, it's a navigation hazard and too fragile to move. The Ballard Locks are pretty cool with the fish ladders and awesome Chriscraft cabin cruisers. There are also a bunch of houseboats that are actually floating houses rather than boats you live on. Go see the Experience Music museum and marvel at how Frank Gehry ever got a job as an architect. Pioneer Square. Seattle Underground. |

Everyone said 13 Coins for food, it was great! Then hit Snoqualmie Falls, have a beer in the Attic (overlooks the falls). Enjoy left lane campers and roads that are way way too loud. Like they dont know how to put a sealing layer on em or something.
Just walking around downtown was an experience... some sort of anime festival was going on when I was there so lots of "interesting" costumes. |

Even better, grab a cheap oyster knife, a sack of oysters, and some fresh local sourdough and eat at Alki on one of the beaches while enjoying the view. Plenty of halibut fish and chips or steamed manilla clams are available in that area as well. |

Still worth going there, though. Uwajimaya is the asian mall. |

If you're going to head to Everett, might as well stop by HERE , that is if you like vintage WWII airplanes. They fly them at summer time, good show. |

View Quote The Boeing Museum is worth seeing. The independent, non-profit Museum of Flight is one of the largest air and space museums in the world, attracting more than 500,000 visitors annually. The Museum's collection includes over 150 historically significant air- and spacecraft, as well as the Red Barn®—the original manufacturing facility of The Boeing Co., the original papers of the Wright brothers, and the one-of-a-kind NASA Space Shuttle Trainer, used to train every space shuttle astronaut since the inception of the program. Among the most popular exhibits at the Museum are the world's first fighter plane, the first jet Air Force One, the prototype Boeing 747, the West Coast's only Concorde, and the world's fastest aircraft – the Blackbird spy plane. More than just an attraction, however, the Museum is a hub of science, technology, engineering, and math education, serving over 150,000 participants each year through on-site and outreach programs and the Museum's aviation and space library and archives are the largest on the West Coast, holding more than 1.4 million images.

Ferris Wheel Pike Place Market Chihuly Glass Museum/Space Needle UW Campus Ivar's towards gaswork/gasworks for the view That basically starts you in downtown and works you slightly North. |
