I know most of America could care less about hockey, and that fact truly is a shame. If you want to have a great time at an attractive price, you have to check out the Seattle Thunderbirds. These aren't the spoiled pro athletes whose huge salaries mean it costs you $40 just to buy a ticket. These are minor leaguers just scrapin' by and playing their hearts out. The game is exhilerating live, and the arena has a party atmosphere. A definate must see.

Quest Stadium is right next door to Safeco Field. The seahawks are great. They throw long bombs, and King Alexander is a rush king. I went during a playoff game against the Rams. We lost but it was fun. The open air stadium allows the cheers to echo. Once of the best stadiums in football at the moment. Check out the ehibition center where they hold shows too. Quest is my greatest adventure so far. Check it out as the hawks are headed for the playoffs.

several years ago if you told me i'd be a wnba/seattle storm fan, i would have laughed in your face. now i pass time during the fall, winter and spring by counting the days until the season begins, which it did yesterday!
if you haven't been to a game but you like basketball or sports or want to do something fun and inexpensive or want to show kids what *real* teamwork looks like, then i can't recommend the Storm games enough.
to start with, you can get lower bowl seats for $10. the games are very family-oriented and kid-friendly. the players often sign autographs after warm-ups. etc.
but the best part is that you will watch 40 minutes of pure athleticism by women who play because they love the game. they don't get paid millions of dollars. they don't have private jets to take them on their road trips. they don't hog the ball and choke their coaches. they play a wonderfully pure form of basketball and will give up a basket for an assist more times than you can count.
i'm a former hard-core nba fan who will NOT go to an nba game anymore but have missed only 2 wnba games in the past 5 years - once for my honeymoon and once for the birth of my little dude.
come check out the 2004 championship team. schedule, team, etc. info is at http://www.wnba.com/storm/. and if you want to speak w/a ticket rep, send me mail and i'll hook you up with mine.

I took a gang of four girls to a Husky Gymnastics meet and we all had a great time. The admission price is very low (around $5) and that gets you a few hours of great athletic entertainment. At all times there are four separate events happening on the floor. We did not have assigned seats so we were free to wander from place to place, wherever afforded the best vantage point. We all came away very impressed by the caliber of the competition.

they remodeled the course and it's great. There are tons of sand traps and water hazards. I like the setting there, trains in the background, and the beach to the other side. It is a very nice club as it has a great shop to go to and carts there are fast. It's also fun to race them as the rangers rarely watch you. It's about $30 to play a round of golf. Kill some time there and get away from your troubles at Fosters!

The most beautiful ball park I've been to. As a matter of fact I've been to only two, the kingdom and this one. It was recently build and not too old. They have a retractable roof and is great because it's next to the water and you have a great view of elliot bay. NOt much of a hassel to find parking because the garage is right next door. The garage is also conected to I-90 so all of eastside people have easy access to the freeway. The mariners are a good team and they can only get better. Have fun!

OK..so maybe I'm a bit bias. I love the Seattle Mariners even when they sucked (remember the before the mid-90's). OK...they suck now, but atleast the stadium is awesome. The atmosphere is friendly, the people are nice, the food selection is great (but pricey), and the stadium itself is beaufiful. The only other stadium that I have been too that comes close is the SF Giant's stadium which reminded me of Safeco. You've gotta love it!

You can rent their room out right on the lake. It is a great event place that is unusual and lots of added fun it you take advantage of their rowing activities! I am not sure on maximum capacity but they could certainly do 50-60 without a problem, possible 100-150 if you could use the outdoor space as well. Good luck!

Husky women's basketball games are a blast (but don't sit too near the band if you don't want that to be literal). Pac-10 rivalries are fierce and the games can be very physical. The Huskies always play with great heart and determination. Sing with the band, watch the cheerleaders fly through the air, grab some popcorn (or you can bring your own concessions) and bring the kids for fun night.

Leilani is my absolute favorite karaoke venue in town. Something about the slightly Tiki themed lounge with the dramatic fireplace and plush red upholstery creates just the right dramatic mood for a little Dolly Parton or Britney Spears. All kinds of drinks and light snacks also add to the mood. Before the karaoke really starts up, you can also partake in black light bowling.
