Seattle tourism

[Robbmt]

Alright, I have the basics covered and we are staying at the red lion downtown. Arrive 5/8 leave 5/12.

Looking for easiest way to do tours: Food,winery,tilllcum village,Ranier --- Something I missed.

Should I get the city pass or buy an Entertainment book, what will be best?


Maybe I can meetup while there, however, this is essentially the B-day gift for wife who will be ... (older?)



Any suggestions?

I've stayed at that Red Lion... I thought it was a great hotel for the price. You absolutely can not forget to have dinner at the Space Needle! A great experience. Get a reservation at a time that will allow you to be seated while it's still light out, but will be dark by the time you leave (easily an hour and half later, maybe 2 hrs.). Also the Jimi Hendrix museum. And the Pike Market is worth checking out too.

Unfortunately I'm not sure about the entertaiment book or the pass. I just kind of mapped out what I wanted to do and went for myself.

The wife and I are fond of Chateau Ste. Michelle out in Woodinville, about 17 miles from your hotel. It's an attractive estate winery with tours, tastings, and plenty of places on the grounds to enjoy a picnic lunch, weather permitting.

Pioneer square is a great underground tour, Pike place market is awesome, donate to the pig and watch the fish throwers.
Also, Smokey Joes is a great smoking room. PM me when it gets closer to that time and we can meet up at Smokey Joes!

If you are a foodie go to Salumi. It is Mario Batali's father. Unbelievable

Asian Art Museum, Volunteer Park

Pilchuck Glass School . . . not technically open to the public, but call about exhibits/tours.

Smokey Joes is probably the best of places to enjoy a cigar in this area. There is one other new one that might fit the bill if you enjoy gambling. Snoqualmie Casino in North Bend is pretty nice, even with its limited cigar selection.

Also,
I wouldn't mind meeting some forum brothers if you can stand the stench of newbies. :whistling:
