The land of coffeehouses

Have a great time!

Seattle is a lot of fun, lots to see and do. Alas, like Claire, I haven't done Seattle sans kid in a long time so I don't know any swank joints for you to try, sorry! I used to know all the great grunge clubs though!

Ooo, this sounds pretty darn cool.

I can't wait to hear your trip report~this is something I want to do. With or without the kidlets. I want to hear what you can do in two days. {might be my time frame as well if I can swing it at all}.

I want to go to the Soundgarden as well as the {damnit ADD} Rock Music Museum. Claire, what is that called again? I hear it is AWESOME!!

And, what is Pikes' Place Market?

Other than that, coffee coffee coffee.

We've done almost everything on this itinerary:

http://www.seeseattle.org/visitors/i...es/sampler.asp

The underground tours were awesome. I've done the Tillicum Village thing a few times....2 times with my grandma and her cronies--I went on a senior citizens tour!

Pioneer Square, etc. is awesome, and my cousin Joyce got married at the Arboretum.

Uwajimaya in Chinatown is incredible. We have an even larger one

just down the street from me. I go there for teas and interesting little goodies from time to time. It's one of my all-time favorite stores.

Experience Music Project is fun....depends on what's open. We went in 2002 and they were between exhibits, but it was still worth it. The kids made it hard to experience the whole thing at the time. They wanted to get to the Science Center and go on the monorail again....go if you can spend some time there.

THE LIBRARY!! You must see the library.

http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/local/library/ Our friend's construction company did the contracting on it (they did our neighborhood branch, too, and we LOVE it!), and it is SPECTACULAR. Even if CP wasn't a librarian, I'd still recommend it. It's gorgeous.

Okay, that's all.....

Now they probably didn't de-stem, hoping for some semblance of concentration, crushed it up with leaves and mice, and then wound up with this rancid tar and turpentine bull**. Fin' Raid. Jack: Tastes pretty good to me.
