Poll of the Day > It's my first time in Seattle, what should I do?

(+) Yeah! (+)

What are the must sees?
---

Coffee

pike place market and the area around the space needle are the typical tourist places

Frasier
---

Go to the nudie beach. Or if that's not your thing, Check out Alki beach.
---

I was there about a year ago. Pike Place Market was fun. As mentioned, the area around the Space Needle has touristy stuff. I didnt get to check out the Museum of Pop Culture, but heard good things. Checked out a Mariners game.

If you have the time & means of transportation, you could book a tour of the Boeing facility, with us about 25 minutes southeast. That was really interesting, as they basically show how the planes are built and go through the process of selling planes.

Speaking of Pike Place, you can visit the first starbucks.

Also there is the starbucks Roastery.

And if you want a kinda trashy experience, there is a "bikini Coffee" called "Ladybug espresso". There is a location at 5400 E Marginal Way S, Seattle, WA 98134 the girls typically show way more skin than they are supposed to; nipples, labia, etc.

Get a job, apparently...

Shame there are hundreds of homeless people in Seattle who also wish they could get a job.

You don't say?

I mean... that's horrible! I cannot imagine such things. I'll have to see it for myself over day so I won't have to wonder why this is allowed

As an actual resident of seattle, thats entirely false. The homeless dont want jobs, they just want to get high.

sci fi and music museum is awesome

space needle is next door and it is a huge let down

teatro zanzini was probably one of the best dinners/shows ive ever been to in my life, but it may be out of your price range

I think I would love the sci-fi museum. It sucks that the space needle would be a letdown... What kind of show is at teatro zanzini and what price range is it?

Hey now, they also wanna rape women in car dealership bathrooms!

In all seriousness though the homeless problem is a major issue here that I don't see any real solution for short of attempting to purge them. There are some who legitimately want work and to get back on their feet, but a large number of them are mentally ill, some are violent, and they lead to a lot of crime.

If you want a view better than space needle and much cheaper, go to Columbia Tower. It's that giant black tower that is much bigger than the space needle.
---

To get rid of them, just do what they did in South Park...

There is no sci-fi museum (unless they added one while I've been away).

There's the Pacific science center, which has various events throughout the year. I've been there many times, and it's crazy fun. They had this video game exhibit, and it was great.

The experienced music project is now called the museum of pop culture. Its pretty cool.

TC, what type of stuff do you like doing? And where are you from? And how often do you go to big cities?

You can go to the gravesites of Bruce and Brandon Lee (same place, right next to each other)

You can see (thats it, just look at it lol) Kurt Cobains old house and the little park next to it and write on one of the benches.

Lol i didnt know that. When i was there 7 years ago i had my 2 daughters with me so a nudie beach wouldnt have happened anyway.

Most of the hookers i've seen are pretty bad, especially the ones who walk Aurora (the street known for hookers).

There are some in strip clubs that are better though? I dunno. It is all pretty trashy. I recall my first time going to a Seattle strip club, within minutes of walking in, one of the dancers was telling me her rates for various sexual acts. At least in Portland the girls try to sweet talk ya first.

First of all, I suck at spelling. Its zinzanni.

I don't remember pricing, but you can book on their website to find out.

Its a sort of world class dinner theater with singing and contortionists and acrobats doing crazy shit in a very confined space. It was pretty fucking incredible to see some of that stuff so close up. I mean if you sit on the lowest level they are literally flying maybe 10 feet over your head.

I think the meal is 5 courses, all of which were insanely good, but they switch chefs in and out all the time like any super fancy resturant. Haven't been in 10 years, so I can't speak to that now.

The sci fi museum is literally across the street from the space needle. I swear, if you Google it you will see the "sci fi and Hall of fame museum"

yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the museum of pop culture.

I thought you were talking about something else/something new

You're right, they are the same thing. Like I said, its been 10 years and I don't think it was called the museum of pop culture then.

It was originally called

It's a bit of a drive, but you really should hike Mt. Ranier. Keep to the lower trails, though, I'm pretty sure there's still a lot of snow on the more advanced ones.

I wish the politicians didn't give a fuck. It's far worse than that, they continue to attempt to raise taxes in order to dump more and more money into failed policies that have only made the problem worse. It's the police who don't give a fuck.

They also want to constantly harass people walking around the city.

Whidbey Island? Not sure if that even has any places worth checking out. My aunt owns a shop on the pier there and there are/were a bunch of other little shops and a park there. I haven't been there in forever but I spent summers there as a kid and it was awesome.
