I haven't really travelled all that much but with a comfy COOP job for the past few terms, I'll finally have enough money to do so this summer. On a whim, I've decided to visit Seattle because of PAX 2008. But I don't want to fly down to Seattle only to be in a convention centre for 3 days straight.

I will be in Seattle a couple of days before the start of PAX and I'll probably be staying in a downtown hotel. So is there anything that I should absolutely go see? Oh and are any people from GFF heading down to PAX?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Good food recommendations would be very helpful. All I know about the area is the Pike Place Market. Beautiful sights within walking distance of downtown would be nice as well. And I guess recommendations on some museums. Anything along those lines would be very helpful.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So I started to do some research on where we (my gf and I) can go hiking and I found out that three national parks are in close proximity to Seattle. We were thinking about camping at Olympic National Park for the days before PAX. However, we won't have a car. Is there any public transportation to get from Port Angeles to any of the campsites in the park?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thanks for the suggestions. Definitely gonna check out Pike Place and Pink Godzilla. A vegetarian Chinese place sounds interesting too! As for the hotel, we'll probably be in the Inn at Queen Anne.

Sucks about not being able to get to Olympic National Park. We were also looking at getting one of those private tours but they cost a lot (anywhere from 600-900$/vehicle, which means 300-450$ if me and my gf split it) and they only take you to predetermined places when we really wanna just hike and go wherever the trail leads us. So I guess my next question is . . . Are there any "nature" places within downtown Seattle itself? Any amazing parks that border the piers? Something along those lines.
