Will be going to the Seattle area at the end of the month for 6 days and was wondering if anyone has recommendations for the local sites and good restaurants in the area. Thanks in advance. Mel N.

Mel, I'd love to join you for a meal or something if we can make our schedules mesh.
Don't miss the Museum of Flight.
Are you a beer guy? If so, there are many wonderful brewpubs.
Best steak is at Metropolitan Grill. It will exceed your expectations, but bring money.
The Experience Music Project is right next to the Scifi museum. Go there. It's great. Not far from the Space Needle, which is a really expensive elevator ride worth every penny on a decent day.
It's worth walking around Pike Place Market.
I'll try to find some other stuff and post later or tomorrow.
Hope you have fun! Send me a PM.

Sorry, Tom, but I have to point out that the Space Needle is not anywhere near as tall as is depicted in just about every Seattle advert, postcard, and marketing item that I have seen. Still looks cool, but it isn't as tall as you may have been led to believe.

Ummm, just cause you have a small space needle is no reason to make fun of Tom's.
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

The observation deck is only 520 feet high, but what makes it nice is that it is somewhat removed (north of) the city core. You can easily see Elliott Bay, Lake Washington, Lake Union, Vashon Island, Puget Sound, etc. So, it's not the height, it's the perspective on the beautiful landscape that makes it special. Plus, it is conveniently located near the Experience Music Project.

Jimi Hendrix was one of the first to use a guitar as a phallus, so I guess that's appropo.
