will be in seattle only one day - marriott Waterside, probably will go to ivars or anthonys - both sound good and are close
Any suggestions for excellent smoked packaged salmon to bring home on the plane?

Go to Pike Place Market, all the seafood vendors have smoked salmon. I get the smoked King Salmon at Pike Place Fish Market, and it's excellent. They'll give you a sample to taste.

I enjoyed breakfast at the Athenian Inn in Pike Place Public Market. I know it was a very 'touristy' thing to do especially with the Sleepless in Seattle links but the food was good, the view from the window seats looking out over the water were good and the market was buzzing.

Sunday Brunch in Seattle
 

The wife and I are doing a last of the CO DEQM Promo MR before it runs out 6/15. Decided to do a LGA-IAH-SEA run ($604 a/i)....will land very late Saturday night in SEA.

Have an El Cheapo Marriott Courtyard in Tukwila (2 nights $155 a/i) and got a cheap LM Special from national for $60 (a/i) for the 2 days. Thinking about dumping the el cheapo courtyard for a downtown hotel. Trying to see if something comes up better in a downtown hotel (like $125 a night, 4 star or better).

Anyway, a longtime friend from Vancouver, BC is coming down for Brunch on Sunday around noon. Can anyone recommend a good brunch (price not an issue, but not super duper fancy want to be casual) with good seafood and maybe a good view.

Any help would be appreciated.

Seattle isn't really a super duper fancy kinda place. Other than maybe Canlis, you can go casual just about anywhere.

Salty's and Anthony's have locations on the water very near the airport if that is your preference.




Salty's - Buffet

Anthonys

Maximilien's

Steelhead Diner

I've been pleased with Cutters Bay House, right next to the Pike Place Market. (http://www.cuttersbayhouse.com/) It's casual, open Sunday, and has a great view of Elliott bay. Did I say it's right next to the market?

That sounds like a good suggestion...I will check it out....

Other suggestions are still welcome....thanks!

Casual, non-buffet, good food, active view ... Chinooks at Fishermen's Terminal - http://www.anthonys.com/restaurants/info/chinooks.html

Great location at S. Lake Union - Chandler's Crabhouse - http://www.schwartzbros.com/chandlers.cfm

I was in seattle overnight, went to Elliot's - very nice dinner, oysters and Copper river salmon Yummy! Nice view of the water, waiter was very helpful and efficient

It would seem I've neglected to pay proper homage to my favoritist burger place.
