Next March I'll be staying in Seattle for about 4 days. It will be my first time there, any suggestion on places to visit, especially linked to the history of grrrrrrrunge music?

you'll see... it's all around you even if you don't look for it: Showbox, Benaroya...
One thing I would recommend is taking the ferry to West Seattle, walk around there aimlessly, and end the walk on the beach
Preferably at sunset
Man, I can't wait to visit Seattle again!
Jimi Hendrix's grave.
Discovery Park Lighthouse.....where Hunger Strike was filmed.
Fremont Troll
Easy Street Records
Also, if you like cake, I would suggest Simply Desserts in Fremont. Also, in Fremont a chocolate shop opened as part of the Essential Baking Company. Anything associated with the Essential Baking Company is stellar. If you plan on going to GasWorks Park which is in the movie Singles, get some nibbles at the Essential Baking Company on 35th Street right on the edge of Wallingford and Fremont. Fremont has the cutest shops! At least it did 4 years ago. Lingerie, and shoes, jewelry, and tons of Thai eateries. I worked at the Fremont Place Bookstore right smack dab in the center of Fremont. You can not go wrong with food from the PCC in Fremont, either.
Pike Place Market is in Singles, and any Seattle movie it seems. Try DeLauranti for the canolli, and there's a place with little donuts just near the place where sellers throw fish. Very good Spanish Food store in the back of Pike Place Market. I'm working on 4 year memory here, as I haven't been back for 4 years. However, I lived there 10 years, and some things don't change.

i wanna see seattle someday too.is there still a big music scene there..the likes oof which we havent seen since "grunge" era?
Jam's and I live a couple blocks away from Macrina. That place is great, Jam's wants to own it and turn it in to a gluten free bakery.
I had the roasted pepper/potato pizza there.....yum!
Flora is great too.....mmm, coconut tofu w/ sweet chili sauce!
The Elliott Bay Water Taxi? That's always a crowd-pleaser, but unfortunately it doesn't start up until the Spring...around May. If you want to get on a boat, go to Pier 52 and take a Washington State Ferry to Bainbridge Island. It's about a 35 min. ride each way.
Or just drive over to Alki Beach in West Seattle via the Bridge for about the same awesome view. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Wiki_seattle_alki_01.jpg/800px-Wiki_seattle_alki_01.jpg
From there, you can go have breakfast at Easy Street Records & Cafe on California Ave.

But yeah, come visit West Seattle...we've got a great thing goin!
Thanks for all the answers. I'll arrive with the bus to Seattle directly from orlando, via New York and Boston: it will be my first time in the US and I really want to see as much as possible of the country, so... no just up and down from planes...
Ms Haiku has the same idea of me about travelling... that includes: eating.
Nice to read you again meme
*tralalalala can't wait for this travel: i will stress you a lot again about this, tralalala*

You might as well.
It is nothing at all fantastic.
A poor little town.
I'm 20-30 miles away from there, farther west-ward.
Seattle is like a 2 hour drive away from me.
If you like outdoors, go to Olympic National Forest, up highway 101 from Aberdeen/Hoquiam.
