Trying to find a decent priced spot to stay for two nights, in a good spot, this Hotels.com ain't havin much. Half the spots are in Edmonds, Kent, Lynnwood. How far are those cities from Seattle? I've been to Tacoma when I was like 17, but I haven't been to Seattle in like 10 years.

Anybody can help a dude out, that would be dope. Also lookin for some cool shit to do while my and my girl are there. I don't got time to do a whole pile of stuff, but i wanna make the trip at least worth it.
Holler folks!

if you can find a deal downtown i'd say do that....depends on what you're lookin to spend....$100/night? $200/night? Or less than $100/night?

Lynnwood is about 15-20 minutes from Seattle....Edmonds is around the same...Kent is about the same only it's south of Seattle....and Tacoma is more like 40 minutes south of Seattle...

If you havne't been to the Space Needle, it's all right. The retaurant that's in it is expensive though and in expensive places you usually get small portions, that's the case here in my opinion.

The EMP (Experience Music Project) is pretty dope. I saw some Cool Nutz shit in there along with some stuff that belonged to Jimi Hendrix and all sorts of other famous musicians. I had a good time when I went like 4 years ago and I went with my dad. But he's into music too.

Pike Place Market is another place you could check out....it's not that great but people who don't live in Seattle seem to think it's fuckin' awesome. They throw the fish there....even though throwing fish like that bruises the meat, lol....

There's actually a good amount of shit to do if you're trying to check out the "touristy" spots....The Ballard Locks was cool back in the day, but I haven't been there more than once in the last 15 years or so I believe. If there are fish running, sometimes you can see them going through....

It really depends on what you like to do and want to do. You could always try to get Mariner's tickets (even though they suck balls) or Seahawks tickets if you're here on a Sunday if they're at home....That's all I can think of....Hit me on the PM if you got questions or anything.

^^^hahaha

I was about to say, just drive down Aurora and you can find some dirt cheap places.


Otherwise, if you want to stay somewhere tight and spend a little more coin, the Edgewater is pretty coo because its built on the Pier right in Downtown Seattle.

I AM more or less said everything I was going to say.

By the way, they don't sell the fish they throw back and forth. It's a marketing ploy, and a pretty good one at that seeing they are world famous for it.

I just did a search on Orbitz.com and found Holiday Inn Seattle Center for $126 a night. Not a bad price considering how close you will be to everything.

Definitely hit up the EMP. Especially since you're into music you will find that place really cool.

Dude....don't stay on Aurora unless it's a chain. Unless you really don't care about how poor quality it is. Most of them are shit holes and not places you really want to be staying at.
