Flying up for the game against Wash. We are using the trip as a vacation. Can anyone from Seattle tell us any cool restaurants, shops, cool attractions, other than the typical. We will be staying downtown. I appreciate any suggestions you might have.
 
what kind of food are you looking for. There's plenty of seafood and steak restaurants, but also we have a great International district where you can get some great Chinese, Thai, and Korean food as well. It's located immediately east of the stadiums. There is some really great seafood nearly everywhere you look. The Palamino restraurant has fabulous scallops, and the Metropolital Grill has great fish and steak.

Pioneer Square is the historic part of Seattle and has some interesting things to check out, as well as some fun sports bars, being so close to the pro stadiums.

There is a new giant ferris wheel on the waterfront that is pretty cool. Taking the tour of the waterfront from the water is fun to do if you haven't done that before, or just take a ferry ride across to the peninsula and back. You can walk on and it's a short walk from the center of down town. The waterfront itself is kind of cool to walk around.

If you are a rock n roll fan, Paul Allen's Experienced Music Project is at the Seattle Center. You can get there via the monorail that runs from the north edge of down town to the center. Same type of monorail that is at Disneyland.

I've been a Husky season ticket holder for 40 years, and it has never been as difficult to find parking at the stadium, so if you can arrange to get on a charter bus to and from the game, that would be the best, unless you want to come to our tail gate. I figure the EWU AA will have a pregame function at the stadium as well.
Another nice thing to walk around is the UW campus, which sits just west of the stadium.

I'm really looking forward to the game. My wife and I will likely be the only ones sitting in my section wearing Red, White, and Black, but when your kid is playing, that takes priority over 40 yrs of games.

Thank you loloman...great ideas. I also have a son on the team, so can't wait to see this game. We should have won the last one.
 
I love the Pac-12 games but especially am looking forward to this one because we won't have to drive anywhere. In theory we should have a good crowd at this game. We had a good number of folks at OSU and we should have more at this one.
 
Seattle underground tour, Duck tours, Pike's Place, university shopping center, Fremont district...
 
Credit UW because they have friendly, knowledgable fans. You're always going to have a few drunk dirtbags, but on the whole, they have a great fanbase.

You wanna see the exact opposite? Wiat 'til we play Oregon in Eugene the following year. That's possibly the rudest fanbase in the country, and always rated as the least friendly in the Pac-12.
 
There is a place downtown called Italian Kitchen that has some really really good pizza at an affordable price. They also have $1 bottled domestics all day every day! Every time i go to Seattle I get nice and drunk there before i do anything... must be the college in me.

I agree. I did almost get killed when we played UW last, some giant ogre looking douche started screaming at me... luckily the security noticed and kicked him out after about 15 minutes of being harassed and probably a pound of saliva was spit on me. Anyways I have heard aweful things about UO and I'm not really excited about them haha.
