"Seattle Town" - Flatt and Scruggs, re-released 2004

I need to make this one quick this morning. There's been an unexpected change in my plans; one of our trainers in the States is in the hospital, so I've been asked to run courses next week in...

Seattle

(You can see the current view of Seattle from the Space Needle from the link I've embedded into this sentence. And it's a very cool, user-controllable webcam.)

And the great news is that thanks to air-miles, John's coming with me!

The nearest I've been to setting foot in Seattle was a plane change there years ago, when I was travelling from Houston to Anchorage, Alaska. John has never been to the Pacific Northwest at all.

So I'm wondering if any of my readers know anything about the Seattle area and can give us any recommendations. We're staying at a hotel right on Lake Union. I won't have free time, except evenings, but John can play tourist during the day while I'm training. Does anybody know any "musts" in terms of restaurants, attractions, etc.? They'd be very much appreciated!

And since the hotel has broadband, I hope to send one or two reports from Seattle via Lord Celery next week!

Thanks...

Janet

PS Forgot to mention that the A4260 is still blocked after last week's Harrier jet crash. I'm learning more about the back roads in the area...and learning to use my car's compass more, too!
