Seattle library, of course

my friend skated there recently and was all 'who is the old dude ripping ollies with his friends.' mark arm + subpop stock guys, all like 40+.

Frye Art Museum
http://www.fryeart.org/
always free
Henry Darger through the end of October
Great museum, not far from the Pike/Pine corridor

Electric Heavyland
noise record store (from their site: Specialising in the musics of:
Heavy, Noise, Experimental, Avant-something or other,
Power-Violence, Weird, Black Metal,
New Japan, Ultra-Core.)
http://www.electricheavyland.com/
252 NE 45th

People will tell you to go to Belltown (a neighborhood north of downtown) but there are only two blocks worth checking out: 2nd, between Battery and Blanchard. There are good bars (Viceroy), pinball (Shorty's), records (smelly punk shop), food (Mama's), galleries (Blvd and Roq la Rue, check out the creepy Ryden upon entering).

Check out the galleries and old buildings of Pioneer Square. But I'd do that during the day, not cuz of sketchiness, but because of the fratboy takeover at night.

Wall Of Sound is my favorite record shop. It's on Pine.

Avoid Broadway (shithole).

three years pass...

Hello Seattleites! I'm spending next weekend in Seattle (October 15th to the 18th), and I was looking for some suggestions on fun stuff to do. The lady I'm visiting has only lived there for a month or so and has spent 99% of that time at work, so I thought I'd ask the experts.

We're up for outdoorsy stuff, art of all kinds, and fun touristy stuff as well. She's not big on drinking, but good restaurant suggestions, particularly vegetarian and seafood, would also be nice. From poking around online, I've turned up Bainbridge Island, Kubota Gardens, and a tour of Seattle's abandoned underground. We have a car, so a day trip on Sunday to the coast involving hiking and scenic vistas with oceans and the like wouldn't go amiss either, but I wouldn't know where to start. Canada is out because I got deported from there and I'm not sure they'd let me back in.

I appreciate any advice you can give me!
