Anyone Needing Seattle Recommendations

If anyone needs recommendations on what to see or do in Seattle during your visit for the LSU/UW game let me know. I have noticed that there is a lot of information available about Seattle out there. I have lived in Seattle for 19 years and can suggest a few things to do that may not be published.

Game day; what is recommended transportation from down town hotel to campus, public transportation or rental car. If rental car, is on campus parking available and are there restrictions against adult beverages on campus? Is nearby off campus parking feasable?

I'm staying at the W Hotel downtown and I'm trying to decide if a rental car is necessary or not. I'm there from Thursday-Monday. Is everything within walking distance or a short cab ride? Or do you recommend renting a car?

depending where you are staying and how long you are staying, few cool things to do is go kayaking on Lake Union (Northwest Outdoor Center 206-281-9694); take a seaplane ride to the San Juan Islands on Kenmore Air; take the ferry across Puget Sound to Bainbridge Island and visit the city of Winslow; take a trip to Mt. Rainier; visit the Ballard Locks; and check out the troll under the Aurora Bridge. There are many other things to do and see depending on what you like and the time you have.

In past years, the local buses would run from downtown to Husky Stadium. I assume this will be the case this year. The bus is somewhat slow with traffic but it is the cheapest way to go. I would not rent a car just to go to the game. A short taxi ride will get you within 1/2 mile without getting caught up in much game day traffic. On campus and oof campus parking is available. The campus is a DRY campus. However, I have tailgated a number of times on campus and we drank our favorite alchol beverage by pouring it in a plastic cup and not getting out of control. Be sure to pour out of sight.

For kids, the Seattle zoo is very nice and you can jump on Bus 5 from downtown to get there. I believe the bus ride is $2 for adults, roundtrip. The aquarium on the water downtown is good for kids but as an adult you will think it is lame. There is the children's museum at Seattle Center. The monorail from downtown will take you right there. Also, there is the Seattle Pacific Science Center near the museum. Our kids have enjoyed all these spots. If you have a rental car, the Tacoma Pt. Defience Zoo and Aquarium is really nice. That is about a 40 min ute ride from downtown Seattle. The Ballard Locks has the salmon fish ladder that kids enjoy. That is in Seattle but not downtown. I hope this helps.

I would not recommend a rental car unless you want to see things outside the Seattle area. Plenty of things to do and see are within walking distance or a short cab ride. Please see my earlier post regarding transportation to the stadium from downtown.
