    Heya, I live in Seattle. Great city methinks.

    Urban Ideas:
    - Seattle Art Museum
    - SIFF cinema in Lower Queen Anne
    - Ride the Ducks like a proper tourista
    - Get up to Capital hill, have fun
    - Catch a show at Nuemos
    - Seattle Aquarium is decent
    - Catch a game at the stadium, depending on time of year, Sounders games are the most fun.
    - Pioneer square has gone downhill, but there are few places worth seeing. Collins pub is a good spot for a selection of local craft beers
    - The Freemont & Ballard neighborhoods have several good music venues and bars
    - Rent a kayak on lake union, or go on a guided tour in West Seattle out to the lighthouse.
    - Sculpture park is nice place if you have just a couple of hours to relax next to the water.

    Rural:
    - Ride the Gondola at Crystal Mountain, great restaurant up top with a stellar view of Mount Rainier (I do creative work for them, so I am biased). Drive time is about 2.5 hours each way, so its a day trip.
    - San Juans are fantastic this time of year, takes a while to get there tho so plan on two days. Recommend West Beach Resort, awesome little beach front cabins and a community firepit everynight.
    - Ride the ferry over to Bainbridge or Vashon island, both have great little towns on them with good eat. Bainbridge is much better if you sans car.
