we leave in 4 days and I haven't planned a damn thing. parents getting covid then dad having a heart attack threw the trip into question, but now that my sister stepped up, it's back on. hope I can find the time to visit all these places in 3 full days plus two partials. 

easy street records
pikes brewery
fish market
london bridge studios
mopop
space needle
seahawks stadium
snogualmie falls
discovery park
off ramp cafe/el corazon
linda's tavern
ray's boathouse cafe
gasworks park at sunset
ballard locks
olympic sculpture park
wild ginger restaurant
hole in the wall
underground tour
studio litho
experience music museum
jimi hendrix grave
j & m card room
central saloon
A Sound Garden

yeah, that looks more like the itinerary for a 2 week stay. lol

Sorry to hear about your folks. Best wishes for your dad to have a full and speedy recovery.
Just do as many things as you can, maybe prioritize the list and hit areas where you can check off multiple items in a single visit.
Either way, have some well deserved fun and enjoy yourself.

all is well with the folks right now, thanks! 

I've whittled the list down quite a bit, and dotted the important things on google maps; most things we want to see are in close proximity. would love to go on a boat tour to see some marine life if possible.

I discovered that Hole in the Wall is temporarily closed because of COVID fallout or something. Boooo! No excellent BBQ for you.

yeah, when planning my destinations on google maps I saw that too. I was quite disappointed. it looked and sounded SO good.

arrived yesterday. so far:

copacabana for a late lunch
walked all around pike place
today we went to Biscuit Bitch for breakfast (it's literally next door to our hotel)
skyview observatory after that
took the ferry to Bainbridge Island
lunch/happy hour at The Plate and The Pint
now just chillin in the hotel room (8pm seattle time) wondering if we have the energy to go back out. 

holy shit this place is a difficult place to walk for a fat guy, especially one who is used to the prairies. lol. I don't recall ever walking at such an angle before.

Great city to run.  Hills are ass kicking

Sushi Kashiba, at the sushi bar, omakase, for one of the better meals you'll find.  We pigged out and it was amazing.

Also, there is a poke place downstairs at the market which reminds one of poke in Hawaii, it is so good.

See if you can go to Bremerton.  It's where the old ships get put out of service and sold to Gillette, lol.

Just think of it as practice for your next trip to San Francisco

You've done lots of fun stuff so far - I'm jealous.
