Seattle, WA + Add a trip

I absolutely LOVED Blackbird: local, organic, fresh, unusual and creative dishes...

Unfortunately, it closed back in the fall of 2007... WAAAAA! :-(

Save yourself $3,000 on airfare by not buying plane tickets. You don't need to fly to Asian to feast on the best food from this part of the world. Why...

Excellent weekend brunch. Massive portions so good value. It was busy and we had to wait but I think it was worth it.

Seattle Hill House B&B is really great. Clean, bed's comfy. Free wireless and on-site parking just off Broadway. 5 minute drive to Pike Market. Breakfast was gourmet and delicious and opportunity to meet other travelers.

It's closed. Replaced with a cajun seafood place.

Th Elliott Bay Book Co. is well worth the trip alone. You can get lost browsing for hours in such a large and quaint bookstore. Also, if you're into books/architecture, Seattle has one of the coolest public libraries in the US.

The drive up Lake Washington Dr. offers some gorgeous views. Find a place to pull over and take a walk up the winding hills and you'll find some great spots to ponder.

Certainly the best dining experience in the Northwest! Stunning 180 Degree views - unique as they peek over South Lake Union and Gasworks park. The new chef, Jason Franey, is creating some fabulous food: like Rhubarb Soup and Lamb with his own house-cured Marguez. Nothing, however, beats the feeling of being expected at the valet, greeted warmly by the fire, and escorted through an evening of hospitality learned over 3 generations of the Canlis family.

The Ravenna branch of Vios, inside of Ravenna Third Place books, is also wonderful. In the morning yummy egg/bacon sammies, scones, muffins and french toast. Savories at lunch and dinner are light and flavorful. It seems there is always a buzz of people coming in and out, but no feeling of being rushed.

Great Place. One of the better Fairmonts

Super friendly and helpful staff; reasonable price, breakfast included, and very convenient access to Seattle, by car, train or bus. Also very convenient to Southcenter and IKEA.

It's gone. Out of business. Now you'll find mattress King at this address.

A Seattle classic! I've found that out-of-towners don't appreciate Dick's as much as the locals, but it's a great place to get cheap burgers. Dick's Deluxe with fries and a chocolate shake: Yum.

Great place for a picnic. The deli on Western just east of the park makes good sandwiches (I recommend the New Town Special), and the Uptown Espresso south-east of the park (by the fountain) makes great coffee.

Be sure to get here early(11 am). You will surely encounter a line out the door.

Fantastic place for play, parkour, slacklining, kites, juggling, fencing...generally a bit of everything going on!

Fantastic market, very good food!

"Open Saturdays year-round, 9am to 2pm, at the corner of University Way & NE 50th, in the playground of the University Heights Center for the Community. On-street parking can be found in the vicinity, and the market provides tokens to shoppers for one free hour of parking in nearby pay lots."

A relatively new Light Rail line now serves the Seattle-Tacoma International (Sea-Tac) Airport, it goes to Tukwila, South Seattle, and Downtown. It runs about 20 hours a day during the week (about 5 a.m. to 1 a.m.) and it’s a fast trip downtown.
