Seattle Trip Suggestions

Piggybacking on this thread, has anyone done a multi city trip by train in the PNW? Say Portland and Seattle both. Is it a hassle or a worthwhile experience with Amtrak?

Chihuly exhibit is amazing.

Underground Seattle is fun.

Hendrix museum.

We went way back in 2009.

We rented a car also. Not sure if you’re going to do that.

Mt Rainer, Downtown Fish Market, Olympia National Park, ride a ferry, that’s about all we got to do besides the game

I'd stay in the city if you plan on going to a game every night. Plenty to do. Weather should be fine. Depending on where you stay you can walk, bike, or Uber anywhere. Go to breweries in Fremont and Ballard. Fremont Brewery is good for out of towners. Get fish and chips at the Pacific Inn next door. Space needle is pretty sweet now that they've completed renovation. You can chill and drink beers up top. I've never been to the glass museum but you can get a combo ticket to that and the needle. Rent Jump bikes and cruise the waterfront down through Myrtle Edwards Park. Could also rent kayaks on Lake Union for $20 an hour from a couple different places. Pike Place Market is cool. Old Stove Brewing in the Market is decent and has cool views. Go eat Dim Sum or Sushi in the International District. Maneki for sushi or Jade Garden for Dim Sum. Lots of homeless folk down that way but they're harmless. I can recommend some bars depending on how old you are.

if you're looking for more than nightlife, there's some great outdoors worth exploring not far from seattle. Olympic National Park is awesome. if you head the other direction, the Cascades are gorgeous with glacier lakes, hiking, whitewater rafting(not sure how May is for rafting).

The pop museum and the glass exhibit are worth a stop and it's all right there close to the Pike market.

Surprised no one suggested The Museum of Flight. If you like airplanes in a Smithsonian type setting, maybe even better, then this is your place.

If near Portland then go to Multnomah Falls.
