During your Seattle vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame (SFM)
Located inside the Experience Music Project, this little exhibit is another project of Seattle's own billionaire nerd Paul Allen. Just as in EMP, this museum is packed with pop-culture icons, this time from the world of science fiction. With displays of actual props and costumes from such historic sci-fi films and TV shows as Star Trek, Star Wars, Alien, Dr. Who, and Terminator, this place is an absolute must for devoted fans of one of literature's least-respected yet best-loved genres. The museum spends a lot of time chronicling the history of science fiction, including displays of 1930s and 1940s pulp fiction magazines. Other displays focus on the fans themselves (and the conventions they stage), as well as the connections to science. But, for most visitors, it's the movie props that are the real draw. From robots to jet packs to space suits and ray guns, it's all here.
Rosalie Whyel Museum of Doll Art
If you're a doll collector or happen to be traveling with a child who likes playing with dolls, this Bellevue museum should definitely be part of your Seattle itinerary. Displays include more than 3,000 dolls from around the world, including 17th-century wooden dolls, 19th-century china dolls, and the original Barbie. Throughout the year, the museum has special exhibits that focus on different types of dolls.
Japanese Garden
Situated on 3 1/2 acres of land, the Japanese Garden is a perfect little world unto itself, with babbling brooks, a lake rimmed with Japanese irises and filled with colorful koi (Japanese carp), and a cherry orchard (for spring color). A special tea garden encloses a teahouse, where on the third Saturday of each month between April and October, you can attend a traditional tea ceremony ($10). Unfortunately, noise from a nearby road can be distracting.
Executive Pacific Plaza Hotel
There aren't too many reasonably priced choices left in downtown Seattle, but this hotel, built in 1928, offers not only moderately priced rooms but also a prime location -- halfway between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, and just about the same distance from the waterfront. Over the past few years, the hotel has undergone an extensive renovation that has updated the rooms and given the lobby a very stylish and contemporary look. However, the rooms are still small (verging on tiny) and sometimes quite cramped. Consequently, I recommend this place primarily for solo travelers. Also, be aware that the hotel has no air-conditioning, and west-facing rooms can get warm in summer. Bathrooms, although very small, have been completely upgraded. Currently, the rates here are only slightly higher than at motels near the Space Needle, which makes this place a great deal.
Watertown
Watertown is one of Seattle's U District entries in the hip-hotel market. Located where it is, only blocks from the University of Washington, this beautifully designed hotel is definitely well placed for a young and hip clientele. If you're into contemporary styling, you'll love it, even if you aren't in town on university business. Platform beds, streamlined built-ins, desks with frosted-glass tops and ergonomic chairs, and huge full-length mirrors are just a few of the interesting features in the guest rooms. Bathrooms are large and have granite countertops; when you see the frosted-glass portal on the door, you might imagine you're on a cruise ship. Guests enjoy a complimentary wine tasting during their stay, as well as access to the pool and hot tub at the nearby University Inn, which is under the same management. Be sure to check out the hotel's "Ala Cart" program, which will send you a Spa Cart, a Movie Cart, or a Surf Cart (for surfing the Internet).
Sheraton Seattle Hotel and Towers
At 35 stories, this is one of the two largest hotels in Seattle. Because it's so large, it does a brisk convention business, and you'll almost always find the building buzzing with activity. But don't let the crowds put you off. There's a reason so many people want to stay here: The hotel does things right and captures much of the essence of Seattle in its many features. It has a 35th-floor exercise room and swimming pool with great views of the city. You also get good views from guest rooms on the higher floors. All units are fairly spacious and have been renovated in the past 2 years. For even more space, book one of the king rooms, which are designed for business travelers.
