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.

My favorite takin'-tourists-on-a-toury-trip destinations in Seattle:

-Pike Place Market
-Seattle Underground Tour: cheesy tour of the lost underground city that's underneath Seattle. A bit corny but you actually learn a lot of neat stuff about Seattle and the history of the American West. Cool!
-Seattle Center: look at the Space Needle! Ride a scary little roller coaster!
-Volunteer Park & nearby cemetary: as mentioned, Bruce & Brandon Lee's graves, plus just a beautiful, historical setting
-Archie Mc Phee AND the Ballard Locks/Golden Gardens
-the Bainbridge ferry. The views of Seattle and the Olympics are lovely and you can eat some Ivar's fish n' chips on the way.

I'm sure the Luau has delightful drinks but for West Coast Tiki, I don't think you can beat the Tonga Room in San Francisco. It rains! There's a band on a floating raft! They also have a "lava bowl"! And other than Pike Place or Archie McPhee, most of Seattle's shopping destinations are nothing to write home about.

I just wanted to add that I like all these places because I think they're very "only-in-Seattle-y".

Mais oui! You guys are welcome here too if the plan with Liz's place doesn't work out, although our place is even smaller than hers!
