The museum of flight is an amazing, fascinating place to spend a day - or a few hours. They have displays on all stages of aviation - starting with the Wright Brothers in Kitty Hawk, through the present day and even a special section regarding space flight. My personal favorite is walking through Air Force One - and seeing Jackie O's famous bathroom that she designed. It's not a huge deal by today's standards, but pretty it's amazing to be able to explore the actual aircraft that carried Presidents Eisenhower, Kennedy and Nixon on official business.

I?ve done harbor cruises, locks cruises, the water taxi (from west Seattle to downtown), a Christmas cruise, parties, etc. all on Argosy, every one has been excellent. Boats are impeccably clean and comfortable. Staff are so friendly and will really knock themselves out for you. Events are reasonably priced for what you get (a boat + crew!). The boats have bars on them that are well stocked (for a boat) ? and the staff really want everyone to have a fun time, but are committed to safety above all else (don?t mess with them ? they WILL turn that boat around and take you back). I highly recommend all of their tours and services, great company.

Located at 15th Ave W & Gilman Dr W just south of Drauvis Street overpass. Beautiful views of Queen Anne, water, and Magnolia. Decent greens with a frustrating sand trap. Very decent mini golf course and the nicest one this close to downtown. Ample parking. Double-decker driving range and formidable pro-shop. Friendly and competent staff willing to help you as much as they can. Sometimes shows movies on the greens (on a big projector screen) in the summertime. Also has Jazz on Thursdays in the summertime with music, food, and drinking. There is a snack-bar there. Very decent course and the nicest one in this area. Convenient to downtown, Ballard, Queen Anne, etc. Highly recommended.

This is the flagship store in downtown Seattle. I could spend hours and hours here. They have everything you need - for anything you might need to do outdoors. Like a previous reviewer, I always leave here ready to go hiking, biking, sky-diving - whatever! Someday I'm going to try the famous rock wall in the entrance, but for now I'm content to watch and be amazed. Definitely check out the twice yearly garage sales!

Just yesterday I drove past the Central library and thought that it's been far too long since I've visited. This place is simply incredible. Not only is the book/periodical selection second-to-none, eye candy abounds.
It's a great place to go on a rainy day. I love listening to the rain hitting the thousands of windows.

I have been a member for almost a month now and am VERY satisfied. It tends to get a little crowded at times like any gym, but never to the point you have to wait for anything. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I have seen some of the personal trainers that seem a little over-the-top to me (different strokes for different folks I suppose) However, I am getting personal training with TOMMY and it's the best decision I ever could have made. He really knows what he is doing and makes you feel comfortable. I have tried several different gyms and have not got the wonderful training or results like I am getting at Pure Fitness. If you are thinking of joining I HIGHLY reccoment Tommy to sign up with and train with!
Pros: Tommy for a personal trainer, well equipped, BEST deal around!
Cons: Parking lot often full IF you drive.

We took the locks cruise during sunset. Seeing the city as well as the mountains at twilight made it worth every penny (it is fairly expensive). This was a birthday gift so I guess its easy for me to say but I wouldn't regret paying for it. The trip was so romantic and beautiful.
The tour guides were pretty informative and the crew was friendly. I think its great for both tourists and locals. You learn a little bit of trivia and if you are new to the area a lot about the different neighborhoods of Seattle. It gives you a good sense of the city. But besides all that, its just fun to go out on a boat trip once in a while and see the salmon jump! :)

I've always kept my bowling desires on the down low. It was such a geeky thing to do, and Alex and I were somewhat embarrassed that we had bought our own bowling shoes. Imagine my surprise when I walked into Sunset Bowl on Saturday night to find it absolutely CROWDED with people. It seemed more like a club than a bowling alley. With a bar and restaurant attached, people were gussied up and partying away. I even saw people hitting on each other. Like attractive people. At a bowling alley?! I don't get it.
Our group waited about an hour and a half for the lane before we finally gave up. But not before having some embarrassing fun in the little arcade.

This is a great place to spend an hour or two on a rainy day with a toddler. My almost one year old son had a great time in the "Discovery Bay" area, which has lots of stuff geared for the age 0-3 set. It seemed like most of the museum was for kids age 3 to early elementary school. But "Discovery Bay" is more than sufficient for a toddler's short attention span! We are looking forward to going back.
Pros: Lots of interactive, stimulating stuff for kids
Cons: Parking is a pain
