    Don't know what the weather is like up there, but the duck tour is actually the best part for me and my wife since it teaches you about history and was pretty fun. I know it sounds lame, but it was actually very entertaining.

    Don't go clubbing and all that so couldn't tell you any on that, but since you are there, should go and check out the Boeing factory tour if you are into seeing how planes are made ect. There is other stuff to do there, I just don't remember haha

    Check out the Pioneer Square area (by Qwest Field) loads of clubs and pubs around there.

    For touristy stuff I would recommend the Science Fiction museum which is right by the Space Needle. There's also the Jones Soda factory there that gives out free Jones soda on Fridays I think.

    The Fremont Troll is pretty cool as well (as seen in 10 Things I Hate About You).

    Of course you can visit the original Starbucks which is across the street from Pike Place.

    If you're looking for a hotel I would highly recommend the Pan Pacific.

    I go to Seattle a couple times a year and a good buddy of mine lives there so let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know.

    One more thing.

    If you're driving make sure you check out Red House, http://www.redhousebeerandwine.com/

    They have an entire room full of different beers from around the world and tons of choices for wine. Really good food too.

    Its a little out of the way but worth checking out.

    Most has already been said. I stayed at the best western in pioneer square. A little sketchy but not too bad. Really cool area though.

    Space Needle was cool

    Pike Place Market.... watch the guys doing the fish thing.

    There is a book store in there called west coast books or something. Really hippy kind of books. Was really cool to go and wander in there.

    I did the underground tour in pioneer square. Was cool wouldnt do it twice though but neat the first time.

    National air museum is a MUST! So cool. If you can get out to Everette go and see the Boing 747 factory. Hear it is amazing. Never made it out there though.

    Don't bother with the black friday shopping. Black friday doesn't really exist anymore. There are no good deals, it's just like any other shopping day, but with too many people around.
