Going to Seattle

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
