Can't believe no one mentioned the Space Needle
Capt. Obvious to the rescue!

 

Space Needle is cool but everytime I tried going it was either closed or super-*** busy.

 

plus its pretty expensive.. like 15 bucks just to go up... when i went i didnt care to wait in line and pay 15 bucks.. so i just went to the gift shop! hahah

 

Yeah, the one and only one time I've ever been in Seattle, I paid the money and fought the crowds to go up the Space Needle

mokeone did in the 2nd post which is why i didn't mention it.

 

Been there a couple times. really nice place..they say it rains a lot there tho..but other than that i'd say its a great place to live..subies are pretty big over there too if im not mistaken.

I lived in Seattle for about 6 years from '99-'05.
In fact, I'll be going there in March again. lol.
Looks like most people got most things covered.
If you like wine, there's the Woodinville Winery Tour/Sampling.
If you like go-kart racing, there's a few places like at Southcenter and Lynnwood. I heard another one opened up too somewhere.
Wife and I are also planning a trip up to Vancouver BC and Victoria BC while we're up there... that's an idea if you don't mind going very far (about 3 hr drive).
Don't remember what else besides what everyone else wrote... it's been a few years. haha...

 

oh yah go karts racing. yah we were going go to the one near the south center but we got to busy at the malls.. dammit! i wanted to race!

 

I was in Seattle for school and work from 96-04.

Southcenter used to be super ghetto like Pearlridge but is really nice now. There are a lot of restaurants surrounding it too. Other decent malls are Bellevue Square, Northgate Mall, and Alderwood Mall.

Someone mentioned Seattle Premium Outlet which is in Marysville (20 mi N of Seattle wtf?). I was there last Sept and it was pretty good.

I heard that the museum of flight is pretty cool in South Seattle.

If you like seafood, try going to Anthony's. They have several locations including Seattle, Kirkland, and Everett.

There's a good bbq place in Bellevue/Kirkland called Dixie's bbq. It is a hole in the wall place but is quite popular. Another place nearby is 3 pigs bbq in Bellevue. We liked that place more than Dixie's.

There's a place called Park Place Motors in Bellevue that sells supercars. It is nice to check out the cars there.

If you are going down south, they have Pacific Raceways in Auburn. They opened up a karting track after I left and it blows away the indoor ones (assuming it isn't wet).

 

For shopping I would drive the 2-3 hours down to Oregon for the no sales tax...if that still exists.

Also, there's a bridge that is on the water...like on the water not suspended above...I never went on it but wish I did.
