Don't walk around the neighborhood surrounding the needle. Unless it's changed since I was there ten years ago, it's not one to wander around in. I had a couple confrontations walking between the needle and Pikes. The food at the needle was nasty as well. Great veiw though....
I love to wander around Pikes. I've found some pretty good food there too.

:)So, it's not the height, it's the perspective on the beautiful landscape that makes it special. The plot goes deeper: Tom's saying it's not the size, but the way it's used that makes it so very special. Really, doesn't every guy with a short needle try the same argument?

Some go so far as to call it a a landmark as opposed to a needle.

Mel, as has been mentioned, the Pike Place Market is a fascinating place. We stayed a few days at the Inn At The Market, with a view overlooking the Market and the Bay.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Hopefully this info will keep me out of trouble for the next week. Looks like I may be leaving today instead of tomorrow. Tom PM me if you still want to meet up

I just wanted to thank Mel for taking some time out of his adventure to join me for dinner last night. We had a wonderful visit, and I now know much more about Junior Hockey than I ever thought prudent, although I still lack Mel's passion. We dined on some lovely fresh seafood, and I developed a renewed case of Axiom equipment envy.
Mostly, my joy and wonder over the fine people who gather here was renewed.
Thank you, Mel!
