Chihuly Garden in the Seattle Center is cool: http://www.chihulygardenandglass.com/
Visit the neighborhoods. Get some amazing food in Fremont, Capitol Hill, Ballard, etc.
Yes.
Serious? It's so close to the convention centre. I spent like 3 hours there yesterday just walking and pigging out.
So many great food stalls.
If you're in town for PAX, I'm guessing you'll spend most of your time not at PAX downtown.
Don't.
Capitol Hill is a short walk from the convention center, and has a shitload of incredible food and great nightlife. Just walk up Pike, to Bellevue, To E Olive Way and you're set:
https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=...28204,0.052314&mra=mift&mrsp=0&sz=15&t=m&z=17
Shouldn't take you more than 15-20 minutes from the convention center to walk. Don't drive. parking is terrible.

I'm not a fan of parking in cities.
Parking is bad on Capitol Hill? That's where the meet-up is. Sunday night at Von Trapp's.

Yep. Paseo has locations in Fremont and also out near Golden Gardens in Ballard.
Like I said before, get your asses out of downtown. Our neighborhoods are where it's at.
"Worth the trip out there" makes me laugh.
I know it's like down the street from the Hotel, I just never did it.

It gets bad at night. Get there before 10pm if you want to find parking in under 20 minutes. Or just walk/bus/taxi.

Why would you drive to Von Trapp's? It's a 20 minute walk from the convention center.

I'm only going to Monday at PaX. I'm coming up on Sunday for the meet up, straight to there. I am a bit depressed I'm only spending one day there...

It's really not that bad near Von Trapp's if you get there before 11PM or so. I'd recommend parking on the back streets near there.I'm not a fan of parking in cities.

Also don't forget, because it's Sunday and the following day is a holiday, you can leave your car overnight if necessary. Beats paying for a parking garage.

No thread, they're just meeting up at Von Trapp's.

I am from Portland, and I'm sure it's just as awesome. If the meet up at Von Trapp's doesn't work out for some reason, we can try one of these breweries.
Visiting Seattle from Ireland for the second year in a row due to PAX. Really love just walking around the downtown area. I went out early this morning because of jetlag and I saw a lot of construction work going on at the Westlake Centre. Is that place closed entirely for now and does it affect the monorail? Also if anyone knows a place that sells Chromecasts nearby that would be great.
Cosmic Bus
pristine morning snow
The work at Westlake is mostly exterior at this point and doesn't affect the stores or monorail.
You could try Target for a Chromecast, but generally speaking, computers and electronics are a bit sparse in the city. Best Buy carries them, but the closest one is a 3040m bus ride north.

There's an Office Depot on 4th downtown, you could also try there.

The monorail should still be up and functional. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD EXPLORE MORE THAN DOWNTOWN!
Sorry, I can't help myself. After living here for five years it's soooo frustrating when tourists spend all their time in the most boring 10% of this amazing city!
I've been saying the same thing. GET THE FUCK OUT OF DOWNTOWN.

If you're in for PAX and want the best tacos in Seattle:
http://www.yelp.com/biz/tacos-chukis-seattle
~20 minute walk from the convention center. Make sure you get at least one house taco. Also their baby burritos are excellent, especially with their adobada.

South Hill makes me want to kill people. An also makea me judgmental. Why do people like living here?
There are two Wal-marts, two Targets and two Rams all about three miles from each other because the sprawl and traffic is so horrid. I remember as a kid there was nothing here but trees until you got to Eatonville.
RAGE. Urge to kill rising.

Does anybody have connections to jobs in Seattle? I was thinking I could look while I am up there. My lease is up in about two months, so I could potentially move there.
In the Portland area, I applied at Powell's Books, Starbucks, Plaid Pantry, The Container Store, Regal Cinemas, Best Buy, Staples, Kohl's, Macy's, Peet's Coffee, Tea Chai Te, Lamb's Markets, Safeway, Taco Time, Tobacco Town, World Foods, and 7-11. I had a few interviews too. I worked at Regal Cinemas in the past. I have a college degree, but I still want to work at some place like these, or if anybody has a connection for something more like office work, that would be cool too...

See my edit. The last thing I did was volunteered at a senior center in the kitchen doing dishwashing and prep. Before that I worked in a garden.

I know QFC is hiring right now, having worked in one of their stores up until recently (as an employee of a contractor for QFC).
My main connection is for security work (wear a uniform, walk around, look at stuff, write about it). If that's something that interests you, feel free to PM for details.

Let me think about that. QFC's are in Portland also. I am waiting to hear back from two Safeway stores too. I'm not sure security work would be good for me. Thanks for reply
