Flew to Seattle to join a group of friends for a leg of their "Great Am. Road Trip" across the states; my leg consisted of the W by NW as evidenced by the cities we hit. Because of time constraints, the theme of the trip was "seeing, not doing."

~About $26 for a 2-hour ride around the city with part of the time spent in Lake Union. Lots of cheesy music played which was fine - didn't pay much attention to the information given, so I can't remember if the tour was really worth the money.

~We were in a hurry, so this restaurant was our best bet at the time. Located on the top floor of a shopping center along with a handful of other restaurants, it doesn't have much in terms of indoor seating. Service was a little slow, but we had no choice - we had to be at the Paramount in record time.
