Travel to Seattle

Take a cruise to Tillicum Island. Also its still whale watching season. Head down to Fife and visit the Emerald Queen Casino. If you have kids, they will love Seattle Center (the area around the apace needle). There are museums right around PPM. You're also pretty close to the baseball stadium.

No kids but those all sound good. I'm going to a baseball game and would be very interested in the whale watching. Thanks for the input

I'll be up there in late August for the Boise St vs UW game! I got a couple buddies who go there for school. The Pike fish market and surrounding area is a popular tourist spot. I recommend going by the University of Washington campus too its pretty cool and they just re-did Husky Stadium (its right off Lake Washington which is awesome)

Oh yes, Lake Washington is a must! It might be too late, but salmon fishing in mountain streams is HUGE in that area.

Do check put Mt. Rainier also. You can drive up to like 5500ish feet. About 500-1000 feet more on foot and you start getting to the glaciers. There's just something inherently awesome about playing on ice in the middle of summer.

Outdoor activities are great. You will see sea lions down by the piers. You are almost literally surrounded by national parks. Seattle is so close to the wilderness it'll blow your mind.

30 minutes south of Seattle is the largest car museum in North America.  If you are heading to Mt. Rainier (recommended) this would be a stop worth including.

LeMay – America’s Car Museum (ACM) spotlights America’s love affair with the automobile.  Featuring a nine-acre campus – with a four-story museum as the centerpiece – ACM, situated atop Tacoma, Wash., 30 minutes south of Seattle and in the shadow of Mt. Rainier, is one of the world’s largest auto museums and attractions when it opened in June 2012.

ACM is designed to preserve history and celebrate the world’s automotive culture.  The spacious facility houses up to 350 cars, trucks and motorcycles from private owners, corporations, and the LeMay collection, which amassed a Guinness Book record of more than 3,500 vehicles in the mid-‘90s.

 

Here is a current list of what is on display.  http://www.lemaymuseum.org/page.php?id=491

I definitely plan on eating in the space needle. Would love to go to mt rainier just wasn't sure how far of a drive it would be from seattle. Will be checking out the campus while I'm there. Started looking into the whale watching and will end up doing it as well

Pike Place, of course. If the monorail is running from the Seattle Center it goes straight to Pike Place. Mt Ranier is a good ways but this place is about half an hour west and is amazing - http://www.snoqualmiefalls.com/. Plus very near a nice new casino, if your into that.

 

Near the baseball stadium is the worlds largest "over the water" ferris wheel which has soun incredible views.

 

A place called The Locks are cool and I think free  - basically it was a trial run for the Panama Canal's lock technique and is also used to allow the salmon to upstream.

 

Get some food in the international district (old China town) great asian food.

    • Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......
    • You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.    
    • THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
