Current Events > What are some of the geeky and/or nerdy things to do in Seattle?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Also, what are some good sites to visit and places to eat?
---

Bill Gate's house has the best mashed potatoes on the West coast.
---

Visit golden age collectibles store at pike market.

Go to the EMP museum.

Go to a bunch of board game places to play magic/board games.

Maybe visit Amazon Go store (not really geeky but more like techie)

That's probably all I can think of besides conventions like PAX or SakuraCon which are seasonal.

What type of food do you like?

For food:

Daniel Broilers is a really good meat place but expensive
Red robin has great gourmet burgers, but is also present on other states
Definitely try Dick's burgers, great and cheap drunk food. This is a signature fast food place specific to Seattle.
Tacos Chukis for street style tacos
Senor Moose for good Mexican food.
Mezcaleria Oaxca also Mexican, not as great as Senor Moose but really good.
Poquitos also Mexican but not as good as the above ones.
Rocco's for really good pizza (you can also choose your own ingredients)
Pike place chowder for seafood (I've never been there but it is usually crowded so it must be good)
Barolo for good italian pasta
Tuta bella for Italian style pizza
Buca di beppo also italian but also exists on other states.
Pizza bank for really good cheesy pizzas, but this one is actually far (like 40min drive). Only go here if you happen to be near.

If you like coffe go to Starbucks roastery on cap hill. And also visit the first Starbuck on pike place market.

If you like cider you can go to capitol cider or rgb (rachels ginger beer).

For ice cream try molly moon.

There are lots of other good places for food but above are the ones I personally like the most.

Let me know if you want more options or want an specific area recommendation.

Pink gorilla video game store.

Now that you mention it, there are a couple of small geeky stores at Northgate Mall:

- Some retro arcade store with all sorts of old games from atari, ps1,sega,nes,snes,gameboy,gamecube,wii,xbox. Pretty much everything except new gen.
- An anime store
- ThinkGeek physical store
- A (very crappy) pokemon center which is really just a single machine to buy pokemon related stuff from it.
- The usual GameStop/Hot topic stores

Not much else to do on the mall though (besides clothing), but near it there's a Regal cinema that also has a small gaming store just next to it. Where it seems that you pretty much just pay by the time you want to play and the provide you with a neat gaming setup (gaming seat + headphones + screen) and just play there. I've never tried it but have seen people playing some Xbox games there.

Given it's Seattle, there should be a significant Shadowrun (Cyberpunk version of DnD basically) community there. Shadowrun is goddamn amazing if you like complicated systems, but it's not for everyone due to how demanding it is.
---

Pink gorilla is a cool spot. The owner is cute as fuck and has her own YouTube channel. They stock a shit load of retro and import games, as well as collectibles including imports.

the best thing to do in Seattle is avoid Seattle like the plague

but if you want to respect the local music scene, you could always blow your head off with a shotgun

there are some nerdy bars that are like arcade/bar combined. Raygun Lounge and Unicorn. Seattle Pinball Museum is also kind of fun.

EMP/ Pacific Science Center. I like the butterfly garden at the PCC <_<. If you will be there 7/13 to 7/15 they have a game thing https://www.pacificsciencecenter.org/curiosity-days/

Georgetown Trailer Park Mall is maybe too hipster and less nerd but I've had people like it.

Kubota Garden is really nice

There are some micro brewery tours though its not the same as it was 10 years ago, most of them are owned by big brewers now.

Fantagraphic Books is popular

Two of the better Museums of Flight around the country, better one is in Everett north of Seattle.

Odyssey Virtual Realty

Indoor Sky Diving

Food I know mostly the south Seattle area.

Arashi Ramen
For seafood Salty's on Alki, Rockcreek Seafood, Pike Place Chowder and Wally's Seafood and Chowerhouse are my favs.
Calozzi's Cheese Steaks are great. Only open weekdays until 4 though.
Bai Tong Thai
Lots of good Indian, I like Tandoori Hut and Maharaja
La Medusa and Pizzutos are good Italian but Seattle is weak with Italian.
not many good Mexican places. Its the more Americanized Mexican in Seattle. I like Jalisco's but none of the Mexicans I know are too hot on Seattle Mexican cuisine.
