Snoqualmie falls is twenty-thirty miles east if you have a day to spare. It's has nearby Snoqualmie casino. Seattle Center (Space Needle, EMP Museum, normally with a cool extra display) and it has a tram straight to Pikes Place. Worlds Largest "Over Water" Ferris wheel is near Pikes Plane and is also worth checking out. Tons of good restaurants and take a chance on any Asian spot you find appealing, they are all good. Take the light rail to get around cheaply and see some cool stuff and interesting people while you ride.

The falls are pretty good to see though I don't know how well they will be flowing due to the massive drought out here. If you have the time and energy, the view from the bottom is pretty amazing but the climb back up sucks. 

Make sure to check and see if the Mariners are playing since it really fugs up traffic if you are trying to drive around down there. 

Don't miss Pike street but be prepared to wait for food when you go. The street artists are pretty good too if you like local original type stuff. 

Make sure you know exactly where you want to go ahead of time so you won't have to fight traffic. Also, Orcas Islands are close but most places are booked a year out so it might not be possible for you, but it's a very peaceful and calm place.

I love that area. 

How much free time will you have? If possible, check out Point Defiance in Tacoma. You can see both the Cascades and the Olympics from there.

Speaking of the Cascades, you can drive up to about 5500 ft. on Mount Rainier and probably hit snow or at least a glacier with about an hour hike (even at this time of year).

Also, look for a trip to Tillicum Village, a native American themed island with a salmon buffet and performing arts.

The Seattle Center is good if you have kids - lots of carnival-like activities. Definitely check out the shops and restaurants by the piers.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
