Suggestions for things to do in Seattle

mamadub · 04-29-2012, 08:13 PM

My daughter is graduating college this May. She has always wanted to go to Seattle, so I'm taking her for her graduation gift. We are staying at the Sheraton downtown. We would love any suggestions for "must see" places and some great restaurants. Thanks in advance!

I guess this calls for obligatory pictures of OP and the daughter

My buddy owns See Sound Lounge (1st and Blanchard). You'd be hard pressed to find a more sexy house night & wicked drinks.

Peso's restaurant for brunch the morning after. Awesome

You guys must be new here.

Pretty sure there is a blown up pic of the OP's sig pic, her in her M3 with her daughter in the passenger seat, around here somewhere. I don't feel like looking for it now.

Meh, here it is: http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...8&postcount=27

I promise I'm not a creeper, just very little work to do today in the office

Take a day trip to Mt. Rainier. Absolutely beautiful.

Wraith. · 05-01-2012, 01:52 PM

Mt. Rainer (maybe too much snow right now), San Juans, Olympic coast. Although, in all honesty, the best part of Seattle is it's proximity to Vancouver BC.

I didn't ask what she looked like, nor if she had a boyfriend. I simply stated that you should post pictures of your daughter on the Internet for our entertainment.

1. I know you didn't ask what she looked like.
2. I know you didn't ask if she had a boyfriend.
3. I thought my answer would be entertainment enough.

Everyone else, thank you so much for all of the great responses. We are going to sit down this weekend and map out the trip. I told my daughter I'd get a lot of responses on here, and you all didn't let me down!

E90Mario · 05-01-2012, 09:30 PM

Seattle? I say take her to South Mountain and call it a night

boymonkey · 05-02-2012, 08:27 AM

Eat at Pike Place Chowder and dessert at Le Panier. Original Starbucks. If you guys like music and history then visit the Experience Music Project. Pics!
