Seattle
Seattle is our home and playground. If you are travelling to the wedding, please feel free to ask us for suggestions regarding entertainment, food, and fun. Here are a few of our favorite spots:
Places To Stay
We have reserved blocks of rooms at two hotels in downtown Seattle. Both hotels are near good food and entertainment. In order to get one of the rates we have negotiated, mention to the booking agent that you are with the Kuehn-Halverson party.
- Marqueen Hotel. Website here. Phone/Reservations: 1-888-445-3076. The rate is $139/night, which does not include parking.
- Silver Cloud at Lake Union. Website here. Phone: 206-447-9500. Reservations: 1-800-330-5812. The rate is also $139/night, which includes a breakfast and parking.
Fun
You should probably see the Pike Place Market at
least once in your life. Our market is the original home of
Starbucks, Sur La Table, and many other famous
Northwest shops. Be sure to watch the fish tossing, sit on
the golden pig, and sample the cheese at Beechers.
Listen to some loud music from great local bands
at The
High Dive. The easiest way to find the High
Dive is to follow the cloud of cheap
cigarette smoke. Step inside for some fresh air
and fine music!
Shorties is a classic arcade in
Belltown. I recommend Baby Pacman, the pinball
game Fathom, and a Chicago dog. Watch out for irritable hipsters.
November is cold, but if you are willing to
sacrifice your comfort for art, visit the Seattle
Art Museum's new Sculpture
Garden. What is the artistic intent of the
metal tree? Discuss.
An extensive selection of quality beers are
available at Brouwers in Fremont. Need we say more?
Food
Each major section of town has yummy food. If you
are in Fremont, check out El Camino for some
tex-mex (try the plantain chips). For those of
you that don't speak spanish, it's called 'The Camino.' If you are
downtown near Pike Place Market, the Pan
African Market, is a tasty and affordable
option. A third suggestion is for the
swanky Crow Restaurant, which is
located in the lower Queen Anne neighborhood. If
you come across a new restaurant you like, please let
us know! We would love to check it out someday.
