Another great place. Stayed with friend TA & girlfriend who had a giant bunny rabbit & assorted other pets. Went to Pike Place Market -and the Space Needle and Coffee Houses of course & some good bookshops near the university or the "U" District(& the cavernous University Bookstore, 4326 University Way NE). I remember in the bars there were laminated cards saying try this nice cocktail - cider & lager (snakebite) aka looney juice that you'd get thrown out of some places at home for asking for! Also saw a Meg Ryan being filmed in something - Sleepless in Seattle perhaps?? And took a trip to North Bend in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, the place where the pilot episode of 'Twin Peaks' was filmed & went to the 'Damn Fine Cherry Pie' cafe (Tweed's cafe) - which was a bit grotty! And had a good old ramble in the Cascade's.
