That's an ambitious day and a 1/2!

Friday
4 p.m.
1) MICROBREW, BUT MACROVIEW

Drinks in an hour???

5 p.m.
2) NORTHWEST SHOWCASES

I'd say keep drinking...

7:30 p.m.
3) FALL HARD

I prefer Crow to Crush

10 p.m.
4) O PIONEERS!

Fine suggestions.

Saturday

9 a.m.
5) SIGHING IN THE CHAPEL

You can do 1 or 2 of those activities in the 3 hours alloted.

Noon
6) SIP, NIBBLE, PADDLE

Great Idea ^

4 p.m.
7) OF FUCHSIAS AND SALMON

Definitely a fun thing. But 4 hours isn't needed.

8 p.m.
8) RUSTIC FRENCH

Yep

10:30 p.m.
9) FUNERAL PARLOR CHIC

Fun place, but a younger crowd and the description of the crowd is pretty spot-on.

Sunday
10 a.m.
10) PENANCE AND HASH

W/o a doubt- Portage Bay Cafe, IMO, is the best breakfast in Seattle!

11 a.m.
11) GOODBYE, WITH ALTITUDE


IN SHORT, I think it gives some great ideas of things to do. ^ Obviously, depending on your age/tastes the bars and restaurants cans be substituted for. As a local I could give this a seal of approval, with the caveat that it is an ambitious itinerary and could be tiring. But if that's what you're up for...
