Seattle Art Museum, located downtown inthe business district, has some amazing works of art to see. Hammering Man, who accents the entrance is only a tease of what's inside. Everything from master painters, to sculptures to native folk art is on display. They have quite a good African section as well. Travelling displays mean that there's always something new to see, so what are you waiting for, come get an eyeful of art!

We had the most delicious dinner, the salmon was cooked perfectly, the service was outstanding, and of course, the Luner Orbiter was just how I remembered when the space needle opened 62 when I was 7. Maybe the space needle is dear to my heart, and the needle was designed by a brilliant Mr. John Graham. I have eaten and spent alot of money in many fine restaurants in my time. and the space needle is at the top. I cant understand why anyone would complain because thy didn't get butter and salt on their asparagus. I can jolly well put my own salt and butter on asparagus.
Pros: the most comfortable seating and of coarse the view!
Cons: nooonnne!

super slow is fine, if that's what it takes for you to get there and back. for that matter, you can walk if you need to. if you do this at least 2x a week, no matter where you live in seattle (aside from maybe belltown), you will not need a diet. in fact, you will be able to completely get rid of worrying about what you eat and when entirely. one final suggestion, and it only costs $3/day (less than curves! less than health clubs! less thanspecial "low fat" food!): take the bus to & from work everyday. it will work and it will help your city too.

In the relatively recent past I have seen great, intimate concerts for free by:
Franz Ferdinand
Kings of Leon
RJD2
at Easy Street on Lower Queen Anne.
I have also seen a few bad sets.
The beauty is that all of the concerts are free, so if the band is terrible, it is easy to leave because you don't feel like you have to get your money's worth.
Highly recommended.

What a great place to see a movie. Beats the typical movie theater by a mile. From the comfy couches and seating areas, to the fantastic popcorn with white Parmesan, this is the destination place to to a movie with a friend, or several.

I was amazed by the design of the EMP, both from the inside and just looking at it from the outside. I'm not much of a music junkie, so I didn't appreciate the exhibits as much as my friends did, but the few things I did understand left me speechless. Admission, like any other famous museum, was a bit pricey, but I think everyone should go inside at least once in their life.

Granted, that may not be saying much as radio quality has really taken a nose dive in recent years (if I have to hear Crocodile Rock one more time...).
However, KEXP is fantastic! The djs are so on top of it - they really play the best and most interesting up-and-coming music talents. John, Cheryl, and Kevin are awesome! I owe almost everything I know about quality music to the fine folks at KEXP.
Tune in! 90.3 FM Seattle

Didn't think Seattle would have such nice theater - I love the interior decor, the old style building. Seatings are nice, and front rows on the second floor I think gets better view than MF. I went for Jason Mraz's concert and Stomp. Great experience. Lots of paid parkings near by. Free road side parking after 6pm but you'd have to drive around.

I've been going to the Crest since I was in high school, about 8 years ago and the amazing thing is that the seats are still $3. That means that either we were getting ripped off years ago or that it was cheap to begin with and has become that much of a better deal in the mean time!
Yes, as everyone knows by all the reviews here, the Crest is the famous north side theater where all tickets being $3. Not just on Tuesday afternoons or with a group of 5 more: all the time.
The thing that keeps me going back to the Crest is the selection of films they have. They have a great mix of independent and foreign films that have been playing at other theaters operated by Landmark Theaters throughout the city and a few Hollywood flicks thrown in for good measure. What's great about this mix is that it still gives you a chance to see the smaller films that have done well that you have just become privy to from your best friend who told you he saw it at the Seven Gables a few weeks ago, but man, bummer, he doesn't think its playing anymore; or you can go see the big blockbuster that everyone is talking about but by no means want to shell out $9 for.
The popcorn is good, free refills on large drinks and
'corn are a plus although Ive never taken advantage of it. Films also come through here pretty quickly, about 3 weeks on average I would say. The seats leave something to be desired, but you're paying $3, don't complain.
All in all the Crest is the perfect date when your netflix don't look as appealing as you want and going and renting a movie just doesn't sound romantic enough.
