Some of my favorite Seattle things:

The Locks

Gasworks Park

Ivar's Salmon House (best Seafood in Seattle, IMHO)

The drive up to Snoqualmie Pass (where the original Twin Peaks was filmed).

The Olympic Rainforest (on the peninsula)

Ferry boat rides (doesn't matter where)

Seattle Art Museum (one of the best Asian art collections outside of Asia)

A ride on the monorail!!

Seattle Center!! The old World's Fair grounds with the Space Needle, Science Center, lots of fun stuff!!

I could go on and on.

I miss Seattle so much!!!
