I need ideas for my WA trip!! anyone, help? |
Travel Info WA, the evergreen state.........right? Anyway, I'll be near Tumwater, Seattle and Olympia and I was wondering were I could find some awesome bars, restaurants, malls, museums, art galleries, nature watching, tattoo parlors, coffeehouse, rock venues, clubs, romantic spots. Travel Tips Museum of Flight Seattle Art Museum Bird Watching Super Mall Outlet mall Alderwood Mall Others Bars: Jillian's (also great for pool, food, etc) downtown Or Viceroy on 2nd Restaurant: Capitol Hill: Kingfish Cafe (great soulfood) or down in Belltown you can try Wasabi for great sushi. Malls: I hate malls LOL but I would say try Bellevue Square, or the outlet malls up north. Museum: definitely the Museum of Flight! Art Galleries: Not really an art buff but there are some galleries on 4th I believe... Nature watching: head up to the San Juan islands or take a ferry ride from the piers downtown...Or since you'll be in Olympia check out the Nisqually Wildlife Reservation. Tattoo Parlors: Laughing Buddha up on Broadway Coffeehouse: Well we did MAKE Starbucks!! LOL just kidding try any of the ones on Alki (which is a must if the weather is nice) just ask any local to direct you to Alki. GREATEST view of Seattle EVER! Rock Venue: Sorry I'm a hip hop kid! Maybe someone can help out here... Club: yikes, there are many many...Try Venom...I would say if you like rock...Just walk around Pioneer Square on Friday or Saturday night, there are enough clubs there with different venues, you'll find something you like! Romantic spots: hmmm I guess it depends, I think us locals are a little burned out on the Space Needle but tourists seem to dig that :) it is cool, I mean the restaurant at the top DOES rotate so you see all of Seattle during your dinner! Hope that helps... Seattleite since day one. In Tacoma - shoot, what's it called? The Washington State History Museum, maybe? Not your average museum - it's awesome; I've been three times I think, just to see the same WA state history exhibit! Other museums - Seattle Art Museum, the Burke (in the UW I think), and Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe on the waterfront. That's not really a museum, but they've got Sylvester the mummy on display in the back - LOL, locals go there all the time; you should check it out. Restaraunts: Anthony's Homeport on the waterfront is a must. (If you like seafood anyway.) Malls - well, Northgate was the first mall in the States, I believe, and it's a nice mall! I mean, only one story and all; most malls in Seattle are, but still :) Nature watching - take a ferry ride! I recommend from Edmunds, because that town is lovely and would be good for a stroll around. Oh, and the movie theater there is old and fun :) From the ferries you can sometimes see whales. One other thing you should check out - Freemont! There's a gigantic troll under one of the bridges, and the culture there is something else. Naked motorcycle races, shrunken heads, real Lenin statue, and much, much nicer things, I promise! Well, good luck on your trip! I'm from Tacoma...Try the Pt. Defiance Zoo and Aquarium, there's a ferry down there also that goes to Vashon Island. There's Tacoma Mall. There is an outlet mall past Olympia - closer to Chehalis (50 miles south of Oly). Olympia has a Mall, and there's Capital Lake to walk around. Check out the website below for tours of the Capital and other things to do in this area. www.ga.wa.gov/visitor/public-t... www.cityoftacoma.org www.seeseattle.org |
