We've made a stab at some likely suspects, but feel free to add yours in the comments. This is a game the whole internet can play! Enjoy some fine Capitol Hill coffee at Vivace, Victrola, or Caffe Vita Canoe to the Arboretum or kayak on Lake Union (lunch at Agua Verde optional) Walk through Olympic Sculpture Park and Pike Place Market(maybe eat at C! opacabana) Take a ferry trip to Bainbridge Hike around Gasworks Park (Lake Union view), Discovery Park (Puget Sound view), Volunteer Park (reservoir view), Greenlake Park (Greenlake view) or Magnuson Park (Lake Washington view) For a more urban promenade, try the Quad and Red Square at the University of Washington Lunch at the Frye Art Museum or the Henry Art Gallery Shop ! at U! wajimaya --on your way to the ID, stop by the Elliott Bay Book Company in Pioneer Square and maybe get a snack in their newly revamped cafe Mini "Seattle spiritual center" tour of Seattle Public Library, St. Ignatius Chapel (at Seattle U), Cinerama, Scarecrow Video, and the Fremont Troll Stroll the Arboretum's Japanese Garden or Kubota Garden in Rainier Beach Cocktails at Zig Zag Cafe When you're tired of walking, get out of town with a trip to Snoqualmie Falls Dinner on the patio at the Pink Door (if it's nice out) Catch pizza, beer, and a movie at Central Cinema or the Big Picture, or try one of Seattle's old-school, art-house Landmark Theatres Hear some live music and rub elbows with local hipsters in one of Seattle's nightclubs: Showbox at the Market (very big), Neumos (not so big), Chop Suey (intimate, even), the Crocodile (freshly reincarnated), the Tractor Tavern (welcome to Ballard), the Comet (less o! f an authentic dive bar, but with lots of local talent), or the Sunset (welcome back to Ballard!)
