Seattle “Must Sees”

FactoryMan93

I have already had some good suggestions, but can somebody recommend good places for oysters. I have never tried any kind of oyster and I figured what a better place than Seattle to try them.

Taylor Shellfish Farm is a local farm / processor of oysters. If you want to visit them, they have shops near the farms. If you just want to try fresh oysters while your downtown, go to their oyster bar right in Pioneer Square, just blocks away from the stadium. They get their oysters delivered from their farms daily.

Is there any further info on Mopop entry for tenclub members. Not the screening, just entry into the exhibition @ZeldaZonk

I asked about it today and was told that 10c access will be given on Wednesday and Friday night AFTER the shows between 11pm and 2am. During the summer, we don't close until 7pm so it presents a challenge to allow access to an exhibition that is off limits to other paying guests. I don't know if any other times will be made available or not, but I hope so because I imagine a lot of people will not be thrilled about having to go so late after an already crazy night. Hope this helps!

Can you provide any more info on this? So if I go to the museum during normal hours, I won’t get to see all of the exhibits? I assume the “off limit” ones are PJ related???

thanks

Sorry for the confusion. If you go to the museum that week during normal business hours, you will have access to everything except for the new Pearl Jam exhibition. It opens to the public on Saturday the 11th, so anytime prior to that will be off limits to musuem visitors. If you decide to purchase the special access tickets that 10c will offer, my understanding is that we are going to open the museum after both of the home shows for 10c members only. Not all of the galleries will be accessible during those two nights, so it won't be access to the entire museum but from what I was told there will be one or two additional galleries that are near the Pearl Jam gallery space and Sky Church will be playing Pearl Jam related videos that evening as well. Hope this helps to clarify it for you, but let me know if you have any other questions. Take care!

Thank you.

I'm also heading out to Seattle and was looking for suggestions, namely record and book stores. Also wondering if there's anything going on, like a pre- or post-game party on July 27th. Traveling solo and would love to know good places to check out.

I think everyone will be headed to Easy Street records.  I think I heard there will be a pop-up shop there too.

Silver Platters is another good record store to check out. They're in SoDo not too far from where the shows will be. They also sell books, so check them out.

I visited Seattle for EV solo show, visited quite a few of the above mentioned suggestions(all are great, can vouch for Space Needle, Benaroya Hall, Pikes Market, Pop Culture Museum, etc).  I did enjoy taking ferry to West Seattle and walking up the main drive by the Puget Sound (i think?) , enjoyed great views of Seattle and caught a nice buzz at the local bars

Kerry Park! 

It’s close to Seattle Center, so go after seeing the PJ museum at Mopop.

This park offers one of the best views of the city,and also has the sculpture that Andrew Wood was photographed on.

I remember Stone saying that he frequents Elliott Bay Books.

Thanks all! 
Remember stopping at Elliott Bay when I was in Seattle last, back in '04. That's high on my list. Really appreciate the suggestions -- keep 'em coming!

Didn't know of this. Which sculpture are you referring to?

Drive along the I90 west/I5 south interchange if you want to see small example of why the home shows are happening. Not a single tent was in sight 6 years ago.

An incredible bookstore. I remember the light, the windows, the very tall stacks of shelves lining the walls: http://www.elliottbaybook.com/

Hiking thru Discovery Park to the beach where the Hunger Strike video was shoot is a must. Snoqualmie Falls is another beautiful hike close to the city and then go to the Twin Peaks diner. Rent a kayak on Lake Union and take in some amazing views of the city.
