My kids and I have this quarterly ritual. We visit the Pacific Science Center. We find that there is always something to discover and that they update their exhibits frequently, each one more interesting than the previous. Great fun place that's also educational and a nice breather from the malls.

For you quick readers:
They just moved to a new location downtown and expanded their services. Been going to them for over a year now for haircuts, and recently started getting massages there as well. The new place is super nice, staff is always extremely hospitible and they have great personalities.
Haircuts: Great haircuts for dudes, a bit more expensive then the quick haircut places but cheaper then the salons and MUCH higher quality haircuts than either. Worth every penny, I'll be here for life
Massage: Ali is F'ing amazing, she has the absolute perfect balance of pressure and comfort which makes every bit of difference in a massage. Again, a bit more expensive then the mall joints, but cheaper then the high end salons and EVERY bit as worth it.
Manscaping: I hate admitting it, but I get my eyebrows waxed every month or so. I'm lazy and don't want to pluck, so spare me the riducle. None the less my eyebrows still look like a straight man's dude brows when I leave and that REALLY says something.
Details:
So for a guy, finding a GOOD haircut is actually rather difficult. There are tons of places where you can go, get your haircut for cheap, and get a different person every time. Or you go to some super upscale salon, and pay a boat load for a slightly better haircut but still feel lacking. Well I've finally found my hair stylist for life and it's here at the Loft. As a dude you don't remember how your hair was cut last time, what style you like, what product you used, you just know if it looked good or not. Charlie, not only remembers exactly how to cut my hair every time, but he makes it look awesome every time. I know it sounds odd to say this but everytime I leave the salon I look so damn good I feel like I could hook up with any chick I wanted (though I wouldn't because I'm married now...)! I also know that if it's time to change it up, he'll tell me how I should change my hair without having to keep up with the latest trends, which is actually pretty rare.
As to product...I can't believe I'm about to talk about hair product but for the sake of the review I shall. I've tried many different hair products throughout my 29 years of life, and they all have their ups and downs. Charlie took the time to try out multiple different types, give me different samples to try out and I've finally found something that works absolutely perfect. It's easy to walk into any salon or stylist and get a reccomendation for a product that works generically for everyone. It's an entirely different matter to have someone who takes the time to find out what works best for you, try out new stuff to determine what works best and give you samples to try out.
Massage:
As above, Ali is amazing. I've had massages in many different places and have never had it as good as here. I've done the high end spa massages at nice hotels when on vacation. I've done the Gene Juarez experience, but this isn't even the same thing. It's easy to communicate exactly what i want without feeling akward or that I'm not manly enough to take it. When I pull a muscle working out she knows exactly what to massage to help it loosen up. When I just want to relax she has the perfect balance to make me wish I had more money to have massages all the time. I've had some deep tissue, sport, sweedish, and hot stone massages from her and all were equally awesome.
If you got to this point in the review you either skipped what i wrote, or are super interested so I would highly reccomend making an apointment. They are ALWAYS having specials so I would reccomend checking it out!
Pros: super friendly, fantastic services

This place is amazing. I wish all movie theaters kept their old school charm. Plus, I've only been in Seattle a couple of months, and the only movie I've seen there was the Curse of the Were Rabbit, which makes you happy, whereever you are!

I love that I can see an amazing big jazz name in a beautiful, classy venue for less than 20 dollars as a student. I love that Jazz Alley also goes above and beyond just jazz concerts and also includes more eclectic names as well. All the shows are top quality, and the food is pretty good as well. If you're planning on having dinner, it will set you back a little though... plan on upwards of 20-30 per person.
Students, make sure to ask about student discounts. Such an amazing deal!
Pros: Great atmosphere and great names, 1/2 price student tix
Cons: Expensive Menu

I LOVE this theater. The most unique in Seattle for so many reasons. They played Blade Runner last month and the auditorium was over half full! From the velvet curtains, no commercials, the sparkly ceiling, the retro decor, the very mature audience that seems to frequent this theater...everything about Cinerama is a plus in my book (Besides the seats needing to be replaced)...

If you want a place that is fun, energetic, with good games, great drinks, and a variety of bar style food, head to GameWorks! There is a wide variety of games and getting a game card is great because you can walk away and have credit for next time if you don't spend it all on Air Hockey! Head upstairs to the lounge and order a pitcher (huge pitchers, by the way), some appetizers (pizza, nachos, and chicken fingers were great), and watch the game on the many tv's suspended on the wall. This is the place to go for a group, team, family, or even a date -- just don't get too competitive with each other.
Pros: Large space, great food, large pitchers, fun environment
Cons: can't drink while playing games

I love Pike Place, they have all the fresh seasonal flowers and fruits here! I love the crowdedness of the place and the market feel of it. You can't complain when a bouquet of fresh flowers will only cost you $5-$10 only! You can't beat that! The fruits are a bit pricey compared to your normal grocery store, but it's so fresh and tasty! Very well worth it. Oh, don't forget to visit the seafood section, they have the freshest fish of every season. The only thing is freshness can be pricey, but if you don't mind spending the extra money and the pain of looking for parking, you should definitely get your groceries here.
Since I work in downtown, it's easy for me to go to the market to pick up some produce on my way home! My absolutely favorite place in the Summer!
