Seattle activities:
For those of you coming in from out of town, we have some suggestions for places to go, things to do, and restaurants to frequent. But before we begin, allow us to illustrate the type of city we're talking about:
Restaurants:
Too many to choose from! Anthony Bourdain's The Layover: Seattle does a remarkable job hitting some of the highlights and Seattle Met and Eater Seattle are good sources for new bar and restaurant reviews. Downtown has plenty of options, particularly if you like Seattle's famed Tom Douglas but it's worth a trip to one of the city's many neighborhoods as well. Capitol Hill, Pioneer Square, and the International District/Chinatown are particularly dense with deliciousness and easy to access on bus or foot, and Northwest Seattle's Ballard, Fremont and Wallingford house many of the city's hits (Phinney Ridge is a good choice as well, but the best food in that neighborhood is usually found in Mollie's parents' kitchen. Ditto for Federal Way and the cooking of Hye Kim).
Activities:
If you have time, a ferry ride to one of the nearby islands (Bainbridge or Vashon are closest) is worth a trip. And for a mini outing, take the Water Taxi from downtown Seattle to Alki Beach in West Seattle. You'll get the best views of Seattle and the boat docks next to the always yummy Marination Ma Kai.
For museum-goers, we recommend the Seattle Art Museum, Wing Luke Museum, MOHAI, Seattle Asian Art Museum, and the Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington. The EMP (Experience Music Project) is perhaps best known for eliciting all kinds of strong feelings among Seattleites. Plus they have a Theremin that you can play if you want to get into the Kim+Price wedding vibe.
Although we ourselves have never been, the Seattle Underground Tour is supposed to be terrific and the people we see riding the Duck always seem to be enjoying themselves. If you go to the Woodland Park Zoo, please be kind to the Carousel operator, Willawong Station ticket-taker and the lone person working in the tiny and very hot mini-Zoo Store next to the entrance to the Gorillas (some of the finer jobs held by one Mollie Price during her Zoo Services Administrator days).
The Pike Place Market is a must (seriously) and, if you have time, a trip to Archie McPhee does not disappoint. Seattle is flush with live music, so take a peek at the Seattle Weekly and Stranger calendars. Decibel Festival is also going on at the end of September so if you like electronic music (Dennis) or like taking in the audience's amazing fashion choices (Mollie) then it's worth a look.
Dos and Don'ts:
Do: Wait for the light to change before crossing the street, eat a Seattle-style hot dog, smile politely, drink good coffee, and wear sensible heels (we call them flats here).
Don't: Carry an umbrella, jaywalk, drink mediocre coffee, stand too close to the Gum Wall, or refer to the Market as "Pike's Place".
