Take a ferry boat ride to Vashon and back. Pike Place Market.
Is the Pike place market by itself or is it sourounded by any other attractions? Malls , restaurants etc.

Pike place Market is in the heart of downtown seattle, so lots of stuff around, like Pacific Place "mall", Hard Rock Cafe, Gameworks (that still there?), etc.

They're in Kent, technically- near Sea tac... If you're in that area it would be stupid not to drop in and say hello.
Dude I hug your car at least once a week so she doesn't feel lonely

The Davenport in Spokane, tell em you work for Travelers Insurance and your rate should be about 40% of "retail"

Seattle: Hit the docks, good fun and great views (if it's perty out) After that all my suggestions center around food LMAO. lemmie know what you like to eat and I'll give you the best i've found

If you like sushi (or love it as much as I do), continue driving down south bypassing WA and go to Saburo's in Portland, OR.
I swear, at times that place is the only reason why I'd get the urge drive down to Portland in the first place.

MMmmmm good choices:

Sushi - Maneki http://www.manekirestaurant.com/
Everyone has their favorite sushi place but the atmosphere combined with amazing rolls/sashimi can't be beat IMO.

Italian - Buca di Beppo http://www.bucadibeppo.com/locations...eattle_wa.aspx

Bring your own oversized doggie bag. The red sauce is so fresh it'll moo at you...ummm...well it's really fresh!

French - Don't we just call that food? lol, funny since the French influence runs in most "non-asian" (and even some) restaurants...I've never specifically sought one out! will fix that and update ya

Thai - Noodle Boat in Issaquah. http://www.noodleboat.com/
Annnnnnnnnnnd now I'm hungry! Ask em for 15 stars if you REALLY want some heat, otherwise you're gonna get the "hot for this area" dose

*Bonus Meal!

Teriyaki Bistro in Issaquah - http://www.teriyakibistro.com/
No qualifier here...this is the best teriyaki in the Seattle area! If you're bold try a #5 covered in #6 sauce. (They'll know cause I order that 9/10 times ) Side note, we once drove 4 hours one way and then back right after just to have lunch here when we lived in Spokane

Teriyaki Bistro eh. I need to look into this.

lol

you would be happy either way...

oh yea and half the reason we love it so much is the TB Sauce! Get at LEAST a large cup extra. We call it "Crack Sauce" cause...well...it's crack! I bathe my food in the crap lol.

Also thought I'd chime in that the sci-fi Museum (right next to EMP) is AWESOME (I might be nerdier tho so... ymmv)

Okie Doke, Spokane as follows.


Sushi: Either Sushi.com (even tho that is not their website rofl) or Okani...the latter being much more expensive and only moderately better.

Italian: Tomato Street...I just started drooling, SO GOOD

French: pretty sure the only French in Spokane is the kiss.

Thai: ...Thai...ummmmm...oh yea! Ding How isn't bad, not mind blowing but works, more of a fusion than Thai IMO. also ok sushi there.

BONUS MEEEAAALLLLL: Crazy G's Burger's and Fries...GOURMET Burgers. The Insane-o Crazy whatchamacallit Hotdog is staggering and the uber Burger is pretty decent too (not the actual names but when you get there you'll understand) Do not miss this one!

....can you tell I'm a fat kid? lmao
Activities
A great walk around River Front Park is very nice for the Fam, STILL have trouble accepting that a World's Fair was held there...but it was!

Mount Spokane is a great little drive with some nice vista's (Let me know if you go I'll give you GPS coords to where I proposed to my wife, LOL) (I really don't have the coords but you get the point...I hope)

Coeur d'Alene, little East of Spokane but beautiful for sure, worth the extra 15 miles.

Have fun!

Thanks! Give Lo a hug for me too- sounds like he's had his share of challenges.

Not to hijack but hey- my vote to Intec racing for a visit!
