EMP is a definite must-see if he s into music at all. They could go see Bruce Lee s grave up at Lakeview Cemetery. Or Jimi Hendrix s grave down in Renton at Greenwood Cemetery. Take a ferry ride, for sure. Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe is cool and that s on the watefront, just north of the ferry terminal. Take a ride on the monorail then go to EMP and up to the top of the Space Needle. See the Fremont Troll, which lives under Aurora Ave in Fremont. Drive up to Snoqualmie Falls if they re going to have a rental car (chains would be advised in January). Check out the Museum of Flight down at Boeing Field. Take the Underground Tour in Pioneer Square...very cool...then if he s into books go to Elliot Bay Book Store in Pioneer Square. Go to a Seahawks game. And Dad will be the coolest dad ever if he takes him to Dick s Drive-In (burgers and fries) for dinner one night. Go to the location on Broadway Ave in Capitol Hill.I m just rattling off ideas that may appeal to a teenage boy...you can Google any of these things to get more information or directions. If you need directions to Bruce Lee or Jimi Hendrix s gravesites, email me at jedi_party@yahoo.com and I ll tell you how to find them in the cemeteries.
Yeah, you can take him to Seattle Centre that s the big park where Space Needle is and Key Arena and also the Pacific Science Center is there and they have a planetarium. http://seattlecenter.com/events/location�� Then you can go to the water front and go to the Seattle Aquarium, Then you can go on the underground tour in Pioneer Square, http://www.undergroundtour.com/ Seattle oldest downtown and also in Pionner Sq on king street is where the Qwest Field is where the Seahawks Play. Oh and I almost forgot, you should definately do the Ride the Ducks Tours http://www.ridetheducksofseattle.com/ And here is a good Seattle Map, all the areas in yellow in the center are bus ride free areas where its free to get on and off any metro bus before 7 pm. Its great to get from the Pike Market to Pioneers SQ on first ave. http://tourmap.com/map_inside.aspx?city=��
I ve lived in Seattle my WHOLE life! I ts really a fun place to go to. I recommend Seattle Center. A great tourist spot! I love going there. There s a giant water fall, art everywhere, concert halls around(key arena), the famous space needle (cost money to go in, but it s worth it), rides, monorails, and the emp! I think that s what its called. It s a must go. It s ALL about music! They used to have an area dedicated to Jimmy Hendrix but now that s gone. :( But that doesnt mean anything else isn t fun! Lots of music history and things to look at there. And take the monorail from there and go to Westlake mall (which is in Downtown Seattle). Downtown Seattle has TONS of places to shop. Westlake mall is just one place. (great food court on the top floor though). If your son is into shopping or just walking around, its just like newyork! (except cleaner, haha.) And when you get the chance, go to Public Parket Place (better known as Pike Place center) There are great places to eat there, (try to mac and cheese it s to die for!) and there s lots of boquetts of flowers, honey sticks, fresh fish (fish tossing is very popular there) and just walk around there too! It s got a real seattle vibe to it. And if you guys are really bored, you can go by the bronze pig and go down the stairs. Keep walking to what looks like a dark alley (it s not dangerous), you ll see the BIGGEST wall of gum there. It s really something you have to see for yourself. There s also international town (china town) and there are a few cool places there! Go to Uwajimaya. It s a japanese store, and its huge! They have lots of food and cool things to look at. Also if he s into baseball or football go to Safeco feild (baseball) and Qwest field (football). Theyre truly amazing!Also you can go to the seattle aquarium! Near the train track, the water front and the spaghetti factory (which i recommend going to if you get the chance). And walk around that area. There are some really neat stores there. Lots of food and antique stores..souvineer shops. One of the antique shops have real mummies. Quite scary if you ask me..but they re cool to look at!Well hope I was at help to you in some way :) If you have any more questions please ask me!
