Since I'm headed out that way, I'd be interested in comments from locals on the NYT view of Seattle.
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...
