Maybe for an hour, longer if you're really interested in local Native American history, language and culture. Gift shop has lovely things. Cross the street walk through the park to the Duwamish River. Ish means River, so walk to the Duwam River River anyway. You might see Mt. Rainier across the river to the south on a clear day.

It's a California beach in Seattle. Views of the Olympic Mountains, the City and Cascade Mts. Great anytime. Wear your raincoat and walk in the rain or enjoy the sunbathing in summer.

People fish here with a view of Seattle through the port. Great photos to be taken. Diver Laura won the award of Kayaking with Hip-Hop artist singer Maclemore for her photo dressed as a mermaid at this little pocket park that's a fishing dock.

You can always find great live music at the Triple Door. You don't have to pay for a dinner show though you might want to. Great food while enjoying great music. Often the no-cover bar upstairs has a great band you can dance to.

I've been told by some really cool people (because I haven't been...yet) that Lez Sing wednesdays are the most fun Karaoke in town. You don't have to be a lesbian to enjoy. There's a monthly male underwear night too. Website has pictures to prove it.
