My friend is a twelve-stepper, so we won't be drinking. Very odd that my week in Seattle might be one of the most sober weeks of my adult life.

Carry on...

from what i understand, there's also some decent herb in seattle, too.

and **** the seattle newbs and their advice. go hang out for a day and a night in victoria and check out the rain forest while you're in that region.

Very good herb, not that I would know about that ;)

God, what was that trashy place called? The Lusty Lady?

Go there.

Did you really go there? I have lived in Seattle forever and have never been there. If you wanna go to a strip club, Ricks is the best.
 
Check out Lake Union. Its gorgeous, (its really part of the bay but they call it Lake Union).

Look around you, its so beautiful with the clean and clear air and Mt. Ranier as a backdrop.

No, we walked past it. The marquee said "Always open, never clothed" and something else tawdry on the other side. I loved it.
 
If you're into touristy crap, I thought the Underground Tour was kind of cool. You can tour Safeco for like $8, too, which is well worth it (I'm a sucker for ballpark tours).

And Petty's right -- if you get the chance to go up to Victoria, by all means, do it.

and, for the love of god, remember the titans.
 
I've trumpeted Kerry Park in the past...best view in Seattle, hands down. It's in Queen Anne, not far from the Space Needle and the <s>gigantic coffin</s> Key Arena.

Someone mentioned Lake Union, which is gorgeous. Last time I was there, we rented a kayak in the U-District and took it all over the lake. Check out Montlake Cut and the Ballard Locks too. Both are quite scenic.

Also, I can't stress this enough. Get a Cuban sandwich at Paseo in Fremont. It will only be the best f'n sandwich of your life. Prepare to wait in line (which can stretch up the block at lunch time), but oh man, is it worth it.

Forgot about Ebbets Field Flannels. It's moved since I was there if it's over by Elliott Bay instead of on Occidental near Pioneer Square, but it's a great store.

No, it's still on Occidental. Elliott Bay is only a block away, on Main.

Nice.
 
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy!

Or, more appropriately for Seattle: We'll get you high, we'll make you lattes!
