kerryberry: "Local bookstore with a comfy reading and browsing atmosphere and an in-store cafe. Hard to resist leaving without buying a few books. The store also boasts author readings and autographing sessions."
Dillon: "This is the Paseo of old with a new name and location. Everything is delicious. The Carribean Roast is the claim to fame, and rightfully so. Steak sandwich. Chicken breast sandwich. Entrees. Go forth."
Finn B: "If you are fascinated by aeroplanes, this is the museum for you! Enjoy the evolution of flight for more than a century. I was fortunate to travel on the Concorde in 1995 - great to step inside again!"
HISTORY: "With its lush green spaces, its breathtaking Japanese Garden and its abundance of rare trees, plants and flowers (more than 40,000 species), it is one of the brightest jewels in the Emerald City."
Brad D: "The Japanese garden is definitely with a visit. Big Koi, waterfalls and even select tea ceremonies make it a unique spot in the middle of the city."
Christopher Johnston: "Great place to get a view of Seattle from above. If come on a clear day you can get a shot of the city and Mt. Rainer in the background. Bring a DSLR, a tripod, and lens in the 50-70mm range."
Allison Yu: "Awesome view of Seattle and Mt. Rainier on a clear day. Grab some Molly moon's ice cream a few blocks over and enjoy your snack with a view!"
S. Zorn: "One of my favorite parks in Seattle. Beautiful panoramic views of the city from the tower. Located by the reservoir, greenhouse, and museum. Nicely maintained and lots of activities."
James Ott: "Don't miss Shakespeare in the park!! Wonderful place to just relax and enjoy. Be sure to see the Asian museum and the arboretum."
