| Seattlelite here. So glad to hear you found a better job! Those hell gigs can really crush you. Just to warn you it can get dark and rainy this time of year but there's plenty to do. Recommended: - The Underground Tour. A fascinating historical tour of the seedy gold-rush roots of the city. - Pike Place Market. It's an iconic Seattle spot that has great food, a great view and great people watching. - The Ballard Locks. This is the mechanism that keeps Lake Washington from draining into the ocean while allowing fish to pass through. Go when the weathers good. - Mt. Rainier, the Cascades, great for hiking and skiing if the weather permits - Breweries. We have tons of great craft beer, and our coffee is legendary too Not recommended: - The gum wall. This landmark is the grossest excuse for a tourist trap ever conceived. - Driving in, out, or around the city on weekdays between 7 and 11AM or 3 and 7 PM. You're going to have a very bad timmeee... Have fun! |
