Favorite city in the world, Seattle is truly amazing. When you're there be sure to check out the Space Needle - I'm sure you knew that one though.

In regards to "geek stuff" check out the TechVenue calandar here: http://calendars.techvenue.com/cgi-bin/techvenue.pl?Calendar...

You absolutely must check out Pike Place Market and grab a cup of coffee at the original Starbucks - the "geek" standard for myself - go sit down in Starbucks and pound out some code.

If you're interested, you should for sure go see the Boeing Factory and the Museum of Flight.

The Emerald city is almost always rainy, but check the weather beforehand because if it's not going rain, the weather will be amazing.

Good restaurants would be The Cheesecake Factory, which isn't Seattle exclusive, but it's still good. Anthony's Restaurant is an amazing seafood place with a good drink selection - (Wild salmon is outstanding). If your in the mood for a snack go to Dick's drive in which has awesome burgers and shakes - Seattle exclusive and a hidden gem for tourists if you ask me.

I don't spend a ton of time in the city, but when I go there I always have a great time. If you have any questions let me know and I'll try to answer them.

Awesome! Anthony's looks great, and Dick's will definitely be a stop one night. Thank you!

How about clubs for live music? We're not genre snobs, so we're open to ideas.

I couldn't tell you from personal experience since I'm only 16, but from yelp: http://www.yelp.com/search?find_desc=live+music+clubs&ns...

LUCID looks promising, and since it's in the U district it's probably popular among college students.

Btw - Any advice on the YC application?

LUCID does look cool. Thanks for the tip!

I've never applied, so no advice on the application.
