Seattle, the Emerald City, stretches to the sky from the mountains. Not only is it a city that is easy on the eyes, but it's also one that welcomes guests and people of all walks of life.

The actual restaurant is a nice, but small place. There is a place where you can go to eat inside or when the weather is nice, you can eat outside on the patio. The food is very good. I had the fish and chips. They gave me fries, so I was a little upset, but I got over it. The fish was halibut (I think) and was very fresh. It’s most definitely a place to eat and sit and have fun.

Make sure that you take some time to walk down and visit the first Starbucks.

The Space Needle

Activity

Once you get past the line (which is very long), you are propelled in 12.2 seconds to the top of the world (or so it seems). The observation deck is a very beautiful place to go, more so when the weather is nice. You can see Mt. Ranier and Mt. St. Helens. Make sure you take your time up there. . . and your camera.

Wether you like the Beatles or music in general, the EMP is the place for you!! From the time you walk in, you feel like you are in a different world. From the huge stage, where you can "party like a rock star", to the sculpture of over 700 guitars, streching from floor to ceiling, it is a music lover's paradise. Make sure that you go to the second floor where you can actually live the rock star life (without the groupies and drug charges, of course). There are studios where you can sing, play the drums, guitar, and make a music video. I didn't do that because I am not a very musically inclined person, so I just watched. So whether you are a musician or just want to be, make the EMP a stop on your trip to the Emerald City.
