I grew up on the West Coast and only have been to through San Francisco a handful of times. if i were to take mrs. petty to sf for a weekend getaway, what should we do?

The Rock
Coit Tower
Ghirardelli Square
Pier 39
Golden Gate Bridge

In that order of priority. Quite possibly my favorite city to visit, ever.

Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge. (Yes, there's a sidewalk). Stunningly beautiful, and free too.
 
I'm just surprised you used the shift key in the subject header and in your lead post.

I'm convinced Jesus will have his battle with Amy Winehouse any day now.

I can give you the number of my ex who lives there. He can score you some meth and male hookers.

That would certainly make for an interesting weekend.

But you've never been to Seattle, so that theory is sketchy.

As far as SF, well, I haven't been there in a long time so I can't suggest anything, but I loved Alcatraz and Fisherman's Warf and the Golden Gate Bridge - which scared the **** out of me, to be honest. It is a very, very cool city.

If Seatown can usurp San Fran on my list of favorite cities to visit ... I'll eat my hat.

But it's got its chance now ...

It probably won't, based on what I have heard about San Fran, but the baseball stadium is hands down the best in America. And I will not argue about this.

I've never been to Pittsburgh's new digs. And I haven't been to a 'Jints game yet in S.F. I've heard raves about those two, as well.

Probably tops on my list, among current parks I've been to, is Petco in San Diego. Amazing, amazing place to watch a game. And I haven't been back to Camden Yards since '96, but that's probably my all-time favorite.

But I cannot WAIT to see the M's park. Can't ****ing wait.

Well, maybe I shouldn't be so adamant when I haven't been to Pittsburgh, San Fran, Philly or Petco, but I've been to Arlington and Baltimore and plenty of others and they are nice, but Safeco is legit.
Not only does it have the concourse where you can always see the field (which is what puts it over the top, in my opinion), but it is just really, really nice. Has great food. No bad seats - except dead center in the third deck - and great views.
You will enjoy your time there.
The only thing lacking is a really cool Hall of Fame type thing. Arlington has a really cool HOF you can go into that has a ton of stuff on baseball history.
