Seattle - What do I go see?
- Thread starter Raingauge
- Start date
It's supposed to be great this weekend! Sunday they're saying 70!! Do all of the above, but where is the race? Seattle proper? Do you just want to do touristy things? If you want to ride or hike or anything I can point you towards some sweet spots...
The race is at Century Link Field and we're staying not far from there. From the map it looks like close to downtown.
No bikes this time just touristy stuff; we fly in late tonight and leave Sunday afternoon. It was a last minute thing bought tickets and flights last night.

Sweet! If you get a chance to do the Underground Tour, that's always good, and near the stadiums.
I would definitely take the water taxi over to Alki and have a meal at a hole in the wall over there. There's just a boardwalk with sandy beaches and beautiful sunsets... and sometimes you can watch the whales from there. There are lots of places out there to rent kayaks too, if you are interested in Sea Kayaking, but definitely just go over there when it's warm and hang out.
McCormick and Schmitt's has great happy hour. I used to like to sit at the one on 1st and spring and eat cheap appetizers... but there are so many great happy hours... just find a place that looks good and I'm sure it will be. And look for live music. Doesn't matter where... though I'll see if I see anything in the band line-ups...
I still have to look at what's going on in the city for myself, so if I hear about anything going on, I'll post more here for ya!

My wife and I like gasworks park for a cool view of seattle and the mountains. Also fun to see the old industrial stuff turned into a park. Usually busy, but its fairly large and should be quite beautiful Sunday.
Skibunny has great ideas as well.
I'll be at the supercross too! Wife just bought tix for me to take my father in law- awesome!!

i disagreeSeattle is a good place.
You are from Canadia...your opinion only counts on Weds.
Seattle was awesome, the people were friendly and there was lots to see and do. We ended up doing a duck boat tour, wandering Pike Place and the waterfront; then we hit the aquarium.
Seattle is what Vancouver thinks it is but without the arrogance and air of superiority. Its definitely in the top three for cities I've visited so far.
The race was great, the fans in Seattle are way better than the fans we had to deal with in Vegas last year. Roczen was was ripping on the 350 against the big boys and the Tomac/Wilson battle was fun to watch. Anyone know what happened to RV? Is he injured?
