About two blocks east of Pike Place fish market is a sweet clinic where you can exchange dirty needles for clean. Proceed to the small park across the street and you can score the best brown down you ever had in your life.

Do try the microbrews up in the nor-west, they have some right good stuff, and I don't mean just Red Hook.

Most of the places on 2nd street are nice and trendy, a little rich but heck I think Seattle is Houston on the Sea--a nasty pile of slag built on industrial effluents and rich corporate excrement...

There is a really nice all night sushi bar www.wasabibistro.biz/ they have a happy hour around midnight, it rocks.

Did you know you are only a few hours away from lovely VANCOUVER? or condsider taking the ferry to Victoria Island in Canadia. It is several orders of magnitude better than shitty Seattle and the air is fresh and clean. There is some killer surfing up in Tofino and amazing winter squalls on the west end of the island. And more trees than people--but most of that area is like that.

Take deep breaths fill your lungs with oxygen from ancient trees. But only do this outside the shitty limits.

Redhook doesn't qulify anyways, unless you consider Budweiser products to be microbrews.

IMBOLCPunxsutawneyPhil       11-03-2006, 04:53 pm

That be mah point. But as far as budwizzer products, I think it's one of the better ones. [ugh].

Name a few breweries, it;s been over a year since I was up there, I am sure there is some good brew waiting to be drank.

I like Redhook especially on tap, Blackhook is teh bomb. Pyramid rawks also.

There is the Gallery Walk in Pioneer Square in on the First Thursday of the month.
Second Avenue is for tourists! (Shallow tourists!)
Belltown used to be nice until it was rehabbed to within an inch of it's life. I've been to the Wasabi Bistro and it's ok, but the service can be slow. The sushi and what not is good but pricey. Belltown is for the Upwardly Mobile Yuppies.
Lower Queen Anne has some good used record stores and dinning establishments.
Capitol Hill is still pretty faboo if you can stand all the homos and the alterna-hipsters. The QFC supermarket has their own sushi chef in store and the sushi is always fresh and affordable. Landmark Theatres has two art houses that show, um, mainstream and indie films. Lots of thrift and resale stores. A real good bar and music scene there as well.
First Hill is where all the hospitals are. It's right next to the Capitol Hill neighborhood if alcohol poisoning has claimed you or if you've tweaked too long on your crystal. (Really, meth is the DOC around here now. Heroin is so last week.) About the only thing there is the Frye Art Museum which is free.
Forget the U-District, unless you like cheap asian food and street kids.
Ballard is being regentrified with lesbians and alterna-hipsters, but check out Ballard Avenue NW for tattoos, music and beer.
And, of course, you are but a belly-flop away from a Starbucks or any other coffee shop du jour.

Oh, yes, bring a raincoat. Umbrellas are for pussies. (Besides, it's usually too windy.)

Boeing field about an hour south of SeaTac has 1 of the best aviation museums in the country.

bezparzak is rights, most of seattle is a floating turd on an ocean of piss.

Did I already mention your proximity to Vancouver?
