Caffe Ladro
One of Seattle's best coffee places, with 11 locations. Serving organic, shade-grown, fair-trade certified coffee brewed to perfection and served with skill but without pretension.
Cafe Vita
http://www.caffevita.com/
Seattle is chock full of great coffee, so I won't say this is the best in town, but Vita is probably the preferred spot to get good coffee in a cool atmosphere in the Seattle U area.
Elysian Brewery
http://www.elysianbrewing.com/
The Elysian is a very fine brewpub with a variety of distinctive homegrown brews of excellent quality. It's got a big bar space and a hip, friendly atmosphere. The Elysian is a must visit if you're a beer aficionado.
Mesob
http://www.ethiopianrestaurant.com/washington/mesob.html
It's not as well known as the coffee, but Seattle is also a major center for Ethiopian food. Don't let the unpretentious atmosphere fool you, Mesob is one of the best Ethiopian restaurants in town. It also happens to be very inexpensive. Mesob has two eating areas. Don't be fooled by the front room. The real party happens in the back.
Miscellaneous Restaurant Reviews by NikChick
Also known as Nicole Lindroos of Green Ronin fame. She's a foodie, and she'll point you to the many good restaurants in Seattle.
The Mercury
The Mercury has a reptuation as the best goth dance club in the city. It's located in the basement of an entirely different business and not necessarily easy to find, and you need to be with a member to get in. If you're interested in taking part in a night at the mercury, it's probably a good idea to use the wiki or the forums to organize it. There are sure to be some members going to Go Play who will be glad to bring in some guests.
The University of Washington's Burke Museum's collections offer an amazing trek through the culture, history, geology, natural history, and prehistory of the Pacific Northwest. Beautiful permanent collections and rotating exhibits, as well as activities for children, are sure to make every visit a wonderful experience.
Pike Place Market
Pike Place Market is a way cool place to check out. It's a labrynthine maze of shops, bars, nooks, and crannies with a fish market on top. You'll absolutely want to include it your next role-playing campaign. There's also a good comics and collectables shop with a decent games rack as well.
Seattle Aquarium
Located on the waterfront, the Seattle Aquarium lets visitors see, explore and touch the underwater world. Popular exhibits include Life of a Drifter, Life on the Edge, the marine mammals, and many daily talks, feeding times, and demonstrations.
Tillicum Village
Located on Blake Island State Park, Tillicum Village offers a Northwest traditional-style salmon feast, Native American dances and stories, and the cruise there gives beautiful views of Seattle, Puget Sound and Mt. Rainer. For a cruise, entertainment, and all-you-can-eat alder-smoked salmon, it's a really great deal. Pick a sunny day for maximum enjoyment!
Woodland Park Zoo
One of the best zoos in North America, the Woodland Park Zoo presents animals in settings as close as possible to their preferred habitat. Crowd pleasers include the tiger cub born on December 12, 2006; the new Zoomazium exhibit for kids; the bears at the Northern Trail exhibit; feeding times, including the popular the raptors; and many other exhibits and activities.
Alas, The Dreaming does not have a Website, but it does have a very good choice of indie and small press games. Easily accessed by several bus routes; located in the north end of the U District.

Seattle, WA 98105

Gary's Games & Hobbies
Another store with a good selection of indie and small press games; also, a nice used games section. In the Greenwood District, easy bus access.

Seattle, WA 98103

Berserk Games
A great place to buy board games at about 10% to 15% off retail. They make their money on Magic Card Singles over the interweb and mostly have a store front so people can come buy and pick them up. Great selection though of board games.
