How To: Have a Fun Night in Seattle

So, I just woke up from having a great weekend, where most of it was spent in Seattle (I live across the water). And if any of you are visiting, have friends/family visiting, or just want to find something interesting to di in the area, here are a few things for you to do:

1) The Space Needle - naturally. It has a rotating restaurant about 350 feet from ground level, and the observation deck is 520 feet above ground level. But if you're afraid of heights, don't worry, there are the standard 6 cables in the elevator, and 4 different breaks ready to go off at any minute, should all the cables snap simultaneously by chance.

2) Pike's Market Place - Great place to just walk around. Can't describe it, there's just SO much to see.

3) Clubbing - There's hundreds of different places to go clubbing in Seattle. And don't worry, if you're 16+ and want to enjoy this privilege of adulthood, they have The Diamond, which is an all ages club and is guaranteed safe with their dress code and thorough searchings.

4) The EMP (Experience Music Project) - Great place for people who love and appreciate music and its history. Some nights, they even hold dance sessions with a live/honored guest DJ in they're huge auditorium with Jellyfish-style lights above your head.

5) Pacific Science Center - After hours, they hold the world's largest and most artistic laser shows to some of the greatest bands. Just last night, I went and saw Daft Punk and Pink Floyd: The Wall laser shows. Daft Punk made me feel futuristic, and The Wall made me feel like I was slowly falling into insanity with the band themselves.

6) Last but certainly not least, the unlimited amount of shopping store inlets, marketplaces, and bars/restaurants throughout the entire downtown area. No need for my opinion here, there's just so much to see, with so little time.

Don't take my word to heart, though, until you've experienced all the great, hundreds of opportunities just waiting for you in Seattle. After last night, I was proud to say I'm from Washington after seeing all the great stuff we have to offer in Seattle alone! Enjoy your travel/stay/visit, and don't forget to take lots of pictures for memories and keepsakes. Keep reading for all the updates on your "How To's" for life.
