Easy Street Records, Magnuson Park, the Showbox, Alki Beach, EMP, the Space Needle, the first Starbucks, Pikes Market to name a few.
I also recommend eating at the Hard Rock Cafe in Seattle, you will see alot of cool grunge memorabilia. When I went there last year, we sat at a booth next to Andy Wood's acoustic guitar.

BUT, the REAL reason to go here is:
1. Great drink.
2. Cool staff. They're young and they're hip and they'll fucking talk to ye. Lovely folk.
3. The wood oven pizza the cook fresh in the big arse pizza oven behind the bar is beautiful. I've been to Italy 6 times in my life-I know pizza-and the Croc's is goooooooooood pizza. And it's in a cool area to drinkin' in. They have the pizza real cheap at certain times, too.
4. Great vibes in the joint. We went often. It's a fucking great pub.

Thanks for all the inputs on the nice things to check in the city!
The one thing I am very anxious about is for the anouncement of a PJ gig in Seattle.
The sooner the better, but no matter when it happens, it is a sure shot for me.
I'll fly the 6768.76 miles for this in a jiff!

I kid you not
If you really like history (I do), the Gold Rush museum is very interesting.
Of course Pike Place, not like you’re going to miss that.
The Curiosity Shoppe on the waterfront is kind of interesting for a drop-by if you’re in the area. They have a couple of mummies and a stuffed two-headed calf, stuff like that.
The Seattle Zoo is rated one of the 5 best in the country (or was a few years ago anyway). So check that out!
For food: If you like to drink, go to the Triangle Bar, close to Safeco Field. It’s one of the oldest bars in the city. It’s tiny, and is a triangle, and just a cool little bit of history. They have one of those internet connected jukeboxes too, so you can listen to anything in there.
There is a mechanical bull at Cowgirls. The place is really just a place people go to get drunk and laid at night - night clubby. So you know, if you're into that, it's a party - slutty cowgirls dancing on the bars, etc, lol. But if you're not into that, you can still go ride the mechanical bull earlier, around dinner time, when hardly anyone is there yet. It's pretty fun if you haven't tried it already.
Jimi Hendrix's grave is in Seattle. I visited it when I was still in high school - can't remember really where it is now.
There is the Music Experience place or whatever it's called. I've never been, but you might like it, who knows.
My very very special food recommendation: The Hole in the Wall. It’s this authentic BBQ place, and it really IS a hole in the wall. Not even a diner. It’s like a food stand but indoors. The thing is, this is TRUE BBQ – probably the best in the entire region and beyond, and absolutely amazing. They take 15 hours to cook it all night long. And then it’s only really perfect for 3 hours max, so that’s as long as they are open. You can ONLY eat there between 11am and 2pm on weekdays (sometimes they close earlier because they run out of food, so get there at 11 or 12). After 3 hours, they figure the quality of what they spent the last 15 hours slow cooking and smoking has dropped below their standards. Brisket, Pork, Turkey – all amazing!!! And their beans are to die for. I actually make a point of having at least one weekday in Seattle whenever I go just so I can eat there!
Definitely visit Jimi!

Vula's?
I vote Beth's Cafe for their 12 egg omelet.
5 Point Cafe near the Space Needle-awesome greasy spoon, there is a periscope in the men's bathroom that looks at the Space Needle. I snuck in there to look. The urinal is gross.
Just do a search in the AET for "Seattle" I've given lots of recommendations previously.
If I think of more cool places, I'll post here...I have a migraine today. :(
oh, and the 'grunge' stuff at the Hard Rock...is by the bathroom :?
