I'd agree to Humuhum's comments almost entirely...Especially the Volunteer park tower and conservatory (plus the Seattle Asian Art Museum is there and, as BongoTiki said, it is the city of Seattle's better museum)...I didn't stay at Luau the time I checked it out, it's blandness made me angry...The one mixed drink I ever had at Ohana, a Blue Hawaiian, was really bad. But their bar is nice and the lights are dim and there's always beer...Pike Street Market is most interesting in the early morning, 7-ish, when the stalls and venders are setting up...A ferry ride to Bremerton is $5.40 round trip and a great way to see the Seattle skyline and bit of Puget Sound. Don't get off in Bremerton as there's really no reason to...Have dim sum in China town, friends have been raving about the Honey Court's at 516 Maynard, I can vouch for their salt and pepper squid...And when in China town have a beverage at the Panama Hotel Tea and Coffee House (607 S Main) a really neat coffee shop that is decorated and furnished with items left in the hotel basement by Japanese Americans shipped off to internment camps.
