Default Ideas for Seattle....
The fiance and I are headed to Seattle next week, needing ideas for things to do in and around the Seattle area. We will have our own vehicle, and be there from Wednesday to Sunday of next week. Thanks all in advance.

PS - already going to Safeco

I just missed a Sounders game when I went last summer, and I wish that I could have made it. I'd go for it, especially if you're into soccer.

my wife and I went to see the sounders play San Jose when we were there in may. She didn't think she'd have fun but she didn't sit once and sung and cheered the whole time. Great crowd and atmosphere - I highly recommend checking it out. Also about an hour before the game the fans meet at a park about ten blocks away and have a rally and then march all together, it was lot of fun. Drew Carey is the owner and as there to lead the rally. Make sure you buy a sounders shirt or something too - it's an awful green but you'll stick out like sore thumb without one

do you like the outdoors? Tonnes of hiking, (mountain) biking, kayaking in the area.

Salty's is a must.
Skip the Safeco tour, it sucks. Go for the ballgame instead
Gum Wall - close to Pike's.
The Underground tour is not great.

Just enjoy it. Awesome city. I was there earlier this year, and am going back next year.

For coffee, check out Seattle Coffee Works. It's right by Pike's.

Go to a Huskies game if you're a football fan.

Amazing atmosphere, one of the nicest locations for a stadium in the world (right on the side of a lake with dock access to the stadium), and a top 10 opponent in Nebraska.

The Underground Tour is pretty interesting as well.

I third Salty's, it's damn fine eatin'. God I miss great seafood.

My suggestion: drink beer. If your beer tastes are non-big-brewery, Seattle has lots of good micro-ish beers, though I can't remember any of their names. Probably not a coincidence.
