Can't believe it...I keep pinching myself!!!! I'm going to Seattle!!!! What would you visit if you could go? Those who've been...what should I see?? I've seen the 5H suggestions but wanted to hear what you guys would do. I wanted to schedule a tour at London Bridge studio, but they are charging 30 bux for a tour. I'll take a pic from the outside!! Wanna do free or low price stuff!

    I highly recommend the Experience Music Project. Very cool place.

    I would go to the Town Hall and demand the Mother Love Bone wall to be re painted with MOTHER LOVE BONE!!! Then I would go to the Benaroya Hall, The Moore Theatre, The Showbox, Sub Pop offices, Easy Street Records, The Off Ramp place, the coffee shop from Singles movie, the appartment building as well and of course I would go to Desoto!!!!
    ... I am not in the business of being liked anymore ...

    We will be there in a week. We plan to go to the Space Needle, the aquarium, EMP and the science center (King Tut exhibit there looks cool). We will take in a Mariners game, visit some brewpubs, drink a lot of craft beer, go to Easy Street Records, Lincoln Park, Alki beach and eat at the Crab Pot. I am sure there is plenty more to do, but we only have 5 days ;)

    I wanna go back there...such a beautiful green city, hopefully next year.
    As mentioned, don't miss the EMP...we spent about 5 hours in there last fall, so much to do and see. Same with pike place market. Go inside Benaroya hall, it's free and you can have a look around when no one's playing or rehearsing, the guards are very friendly and will give you almost a bit of a guided tour...plus the view is beautiful. Lots of used books and record stores to have a look at. And make sure you have some seafood.
    We sadly didn't have a car, so we were a bit restricted in our sightseeing, but the surrounding areas are supposed to be awesome as well.

    The Off Ramp is now El Corazon and hosts mainly Emo bands and Metal bands made of 16 year olds.
    Coffee Shop from singles didn't survive an earthquake and no longer exists.
    Subpop Offices relocated and no longer hosts a retail section open to the public.

    I haven't been to Seattle before (I am going soon though!) so I don't know much about Discovery Park.

    That pic was one that I found on google :) .

    Seattle is withouth doubt one of my favourite US cities.

    Jimi Hendrix grave/memorial, Bruce Lee/Brandon lee graves, kurt Cobains house has a bench next to it which is still used as a memorial with people writing stuff/taping joints to it etc etc.

    THE Soundgarden is awesome.

    The Fremont Troll is incredible and a must see. The Beatle which is being crushed belonged to Andy Wood.

    The house from singles.

    The worlds first starbucks, the bubble gum wall and the fish throwing at the Pike Place Market.

    Ten club but don't go there as they won't let you in :mrgreen:

    Niice!! Have fun!!
    I've been to Seattle twice and I really like it there. I have yet to get to the Seattle Music Experience but it's on my to do list next time I go to Seattle.

    If the Crocodile Cafe is still there I recommend that place.
    FYI There are two different Easy Street Records in Seattle. The one that Pearl Jam played at is in West Seattle.
    If you go to the Space Needle, Key arena is almost right next door.
