Telo Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 So in July i'll be heading out to Seattle for about a week. I wanted to get some feedback from some of you west coast heads on must-dos'. I want to experience some of the great food and unique shit the city has to offer. Hole in the wall restaurants, well known restaurants, would like to see a game at safeco, any good gallery openings during july, festivals (big and small), and pretty much anythihng that Seattlites and people that frequent the city like to do. If i was going on a trip i probably wouldnt make a thread about it but due to the significant other getting a wildly successful job out there I may debate going there after im done with my MBA in december. It would be a huge move and would want to make it worth it. I couldnt deal with a city that lacks excellentness.

shai Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 It's a nice town. I liked the Globe Cafe, it's probably not for everyone. There's a few people on here from Seattle, they can fill you in on some details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telo Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 go to the pike market, chock full of hole in the walls. also check Uwajimaya went a while back and those were my 2 favorite experiences Yeah Ive heard great things about PikesPlace market. Apparently the lady has a swanky highrise pad just around the corner from this place. In all honesty Ive heard nothing but good things about this city. Not only from her but friends as well. I'll be there for the 4th of july. Any good events around then that anyone knows of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Dunn Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Seattle has a really good transit system too. Day passes were 7$ I think and worth it if you're hopping around a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Telo Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 actually i may be wrong but i hear they have a free public transit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigmatic Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 No they did not. Seattle is awesome. I reside there. Go to dicks hamburgers. Walk around wallingford and freemont. seriously consider the 25 minuete drive to DIXIES BBQ. in bellevue WA. The huskies have eaten there every year. There are tons of signatures from a LOT of people on the walls. It is the best barbeque hands down in the city. fucking amazzingg. If your not into bbq. hit up pagliaccis pizza in seattle. Hella bomb pizza but its pricey. Go to the science center. go see a concert or show at the SHOWBOX. have fun! if your into clothes sneakers and or you skate go to GOODS. http://www.needgoods.com seattles finest!

dowmagik Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 yup i second this. gotta try the man's hot sauce. BUT - dont be a pussy and have gene put a tiny bit on the tip of a toothpick and give it to you, you gotta man the fuck up, take a small chunk, put it on your meat, and give it a shot. it's worth purchasing too, just so you can randomly ask somebody, "hey you like hot stuff? try this" and give them a fat spoonful, and ruin their fucking day.

Telo Posted May 21, 2009 Author Share Posted May 21, 2009 All this info is great guys much appreciated. The BBQ place will be a MUST do on the journey. Any good Asian restaurants? And for seafood, wheres the best seafood spots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecarwreck Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Going back out in late July... looking forward to these: Vivace. Serious business. cupcake royale... 3000 miles for a fucking cupcake? yes. Pike Place. Summer fruit... eat a lot of it, stone fruit especially. The single best plum I've ever had was handed to me here. You can also pretty much live off the free samples they had out. Buy the lady some flowers, too. Drive out to Ballard and watch boats in the locks... then watch salmon swim... then eat them on Vashon Island while skipping stones and drinking beers. The Washington Park Arboretum is nice, too... and free. My brother-in-law is the city arborist for Seattle and he geeks out on this place, still. What's that hipster neighborhood? Don't go there... just drive through and make fun of hipsters. Here's a picture of a salmon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TootsieRoller Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Go to Golden Gardens if you're trying to go to a beach.. Alki Beach has a great view of the city though.. either one. Artwalks downtown every 1st Thursday. Capitol Hill bars are fun.. even with all the gays and hipsters. Gasworks park.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
