I have only been to Seattle once, and only for a weekend. I remember just walking around town and seeing some cool stores. There was a museum of oddities that was worth a look if you're just sauntering around. I also recall a huge toy store that was kind of neat.

I thought the underground tour in Seattle was fascinating. A whole city under the city you can see!

Oh and the history of crime, prostitution and drugs didn't hurt either.

Anthony Bourdain did an episode of The Layover in Seattle this season. I'd definitely check that out for restaurant recommendations. I haven't been to any of these places, but Bourdain has rarely steered me wrong... http://www.travelchannel.com/tv-show...eattle?cat=eat

Also: do you like planes? Museum of Flight+Boeing Field or head up to Everett and Paine Field to watch 787's do battery testing...

The Woodland Park Zoo is actually really nice, if animals are something you like.

+1 for the zoo. Outlet shopping is also good (show your Alberta ID for 0% tax!).

One thing to avoid is Red Mill burgers -- saw it on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives. Food was okay, but it wasn't worth the 45 minute wait

I think the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma is the best zoo in the Seattle area. It's more of a day trip, though. Especially with the added drive time.

Nothing much to add except if you're into it, Benaroya hall has some great history and an amazing venue to catch a show.

Ivars for fish n chips

x2 for the Crab Pot

Inexpensive hotel DT and close to everything would be the Red Lion. Stayed in Sept and liked it. Nothing over the top fancy but it did the trick.

Another option is VRBO.com and rent a condo or house.
Pikes market
First Starbucks
The gum wall
The underground tour
Experience Music Project ( was alright )
Space needle
Catch a ball game
Take a dinner cruise
Seattle wheele ( eye )

Just grab one of these 43% off http://www.citypass.com/seattle

I did all the attractions in it last month it was pretty fun. I'm more of a pub and bar food type but I thought Zekes Pizza near the Space Needle was good. Pikes Place Brewery wasn't bad but the chips are literally potato chips not french fries. They have a brewery tour which is free.
