I'm not a shark with razor wit and smooth savvy such as yourself. Therefore, I'd become mincemeat in the hands of the natives. I couldn't let my poor wife would witness the carnage.

When the facts are on your side, that's all that matters.
 
I actually liked the Chowder @ Ivar's....I went to one on a lake though...outside of seattle. It was pretty damned good. Acres of Clams baby!

Matt's in the Market is hard to find. Make sure you also go to Beecher's cheese there...good fucking stuff up in there.

I did the Duck Boat tour thing on some corporate trip years ago. Cheesy but kind of fun:

Good way to get the lay of the land without having to drive yourself. Kind of a nice way to sit on your ass and still see things after a few days of walking everywhere.

Seems like every time I've gone to Seattle I wind up on a ferry boat at some point. As an Idaho land lubber, it's just a novelty I never quite get over. Best view of the city.

The library is pretty impressive. That's the one that basically doesn't have any stairs, but just a spiraling floor, right? I was a librarian assistant in a past life at Knight Library/U of O, so I always like seeing them.

Big fan of the aquarium, too.
 
BTW--am I the only tourist in America who doesn't "get" the fish tossing? I mean, yeah, so they can throw and catch fish. If I were paid to throw bags of potatoes at people, I'd probably get pretty good at it. But would people really want to watch it?

Hmmm. Maybe I just came up with a new attraction here in Boise....if you can't make sense out of it, at least make money out of it.

You should open a restaurant offering up Irish 7-course meals...........................yeah, a six-pack and a potata.
 
Sweet! Our hotel is just one block from the light rail Westlake Station..

My wife brought home a Frommer's last night.

Uh oh. $$$
 
If you want to drop some coin, my bro says Canlis is the best culinary experience he's had in Seattle.
 
Fox Sports Grill is roomy and has TV's all over.

Jimmy's on First will give you more of a "die-hard fan" perspective.

Which cafe over in Bremerton? I lived there until about 3 years ago and go back once a month...many of the "cute old cafes" have been "not-so-cutely-hit-by-the-recession". Though they're trying to develop the waterfront, and Noah's Ark is still alive and kicking.

I think it's one right there when you get off the ferry. :dunno:

I'll have to ask my wife.

So, Jimmy's would be a "safe" place to watch the game.......assuming I'll have my Ducks shirt on? :ghoti:

As it turns out, it's Bainbridge Island she wants to go to. She claims I wasn't listening...............again. :tsktsk:

Looking @ The Harbour Public House for lunch. :dunno:
