Fun around Seattle
Once you get to Seattle, don’t spend all of your time at the conference. Try to get out and see the city a bit. Here are a couple of recommendations from local Seattleites:
Totally Free!
Directions from conference hotel: Walk 5 blocks down the hill on Madison. Turn Right onto 1st Ave.
Walk 5 blocks to 1st & Pike St. You’re there! Look for the large red neon sign.
Tips from a local:
- Get freshly-made, hot mini-donuts (across from DeLaurenti’s); use a straw to spear them inside the bag.
- Go to Beecher’s for fresh, handmade cheese. Free samples!
- Don’t forget the Market’s 2nd & 3rd floors downstairs! Make sure you have 2 quarters and a penny.
- Bring cash in small bills.
- Don’t eat too much at any one place; dining through the market is the way to go!
- Have a cup of Joe at the original Starbucks.
