Things to do in Seattle?

[joeychen]

Any suggestions for things to do in Seattle?
Definately will go to Pike Market, and then was thinking of strolling around Fremont, Capitol Hill and U Districts.
Any other ideas? Are the tulip fields up north still in bloom? Is that worth seeing?
We will have Friday and Saturday for sightseeing etc.
Tuesday travelling to Portland, Wed and Thurs morning seeing Portland, and Thurs afternoon Shipwreck beads, and driving up to Seattle.

Go say hello to Casa de Snufkin at 2409 Boyer Avenue East. That was the best damn place I've ever lived -- right by Interlaken Park (great hiking), the Arboretum (great for paddling), and walking distance to the Museum of Industry & Technology, the Lakeside Museum (where the Lees are buried), and Volunteer Park (Great view from the water tower if the weather's clear).

Other stuff? I finally got to visit the Frye Museum on First Hill in February b/c one of my friends was participating in a group show there. They have a great collection and it's totally free to get in. I was not too thrilled w/either the U District or Fremont (too much construction going on), but there's always walking around Queen Anne, Ballard (Archie McPhee!), or the lower side of Capitol Hill around 15th Avenue East (first part of the city I lived in). Oh and make sure to go have a Zombie (soup tureen sized cocktail I was telling applehangover and queen_puff_puff about) at the Luau lounge in Wallingford.

And there's always the Eastside if you're interested in trespassing on to the grounds at Microsoft for a look see. I'd recommend Red West (my last place working for them) for the grounds and chunks of the Berlin Wall in the cafeteria.

Archie Mcphees, of course! How could I have forgotten that place!
Where's Wallingford? Those cocktails sound like the bomb, perhaps we could meet up with the Seattle glitterati there.
Not sure if we are going to see any of them, hopefully will hear if they will be around
