Seattle is one of America's most vibrant and lively cities. There is a cacophany of coffee shops, museums, coffee lounges, unique buildings, coffee cafe's, tourist venues and coffee huts to visit.

My son who lived in Seattle for a few years in the 1990s suggests:
As far as sight seeing, you might want to check out the REI flagship store, the Troll under the Fremont Bridge, Pike Place. Just make sure you get to see the mountains from the west and east...should not be too tough as long as you get one nice, clear day.
And... the most important things to check out:
Maritime Pacific Brewing Company and the Jolly Roger Taproom, 1514 NW Leary Way, Seattle,WA 8107
