There’s a lot to do in Seattle.
You can kayak in Portage Bay, watch professional football, bike around the South Lake Union neighborhood, explore the city’s museums and sample the foods at Pike Place Market.
It was hard to figure out what, exactly, to do in the four days I was in town.
Since I had done the Pike Place thing, toured around downtown Seattle and even made it to West Seattle for some twice-baked croissants, it was time to do a few things I hadn’t done in all of my trips to the Emerald City.
So I left my girlfriend, Chris, do most of the planning. I was just along for the ride.
Here’s what we did on my last full day in Seattle:
Space Needle and Seattle Center
The Space Needle (400 Broad St., 206-905-2111) is located at the Seattle Center, a 74-acre entertainment complex of which the 605-foot tower is the main draw. The tower was built for the 1962 World's Fair, during which time nearly 20,000 people a day went to the observatory deck. Today, more than 1 million people visit the tower a year, making it one of the top visitor attractions in the Pacific Northwest.

so you’ve experienced touristy PacNW, and yuppie PacNW. Redneck PacNW and quirky (think Portlandia) pacNW coming up soon?
Two of my favorite places, the Space Needle and Chateau St. Michelle. What a flood of memories. Can’t wait to see the next stop on your tour.
