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.
Burke Museum
Located at the northwest corner of the University of Washington campus, the Burke Museum features exhibits on the natural and cultural heritage of the Pacific Rim. Permanent exhibits include Life & Times, which covers 500 million years of Washington history (and prehistory) with lots of fossils, including a complete mastodon, on display. The second permanent exhibit, Pacific Voices, focuses on the many cultures of the Pacific Rim and their connections to Washington State. There is also a smaller temporary-exhibit gallery. In front of the museum stand three modern totem poles carved in the style of the 1870s and 1880s.
Experience Music Project (EMP)
The brainchild of Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen and designed by architect Frank Gehry, who is known for pushing the envelope of architectural design, this rock 'n' roll museum is a massive multicolored blob at the foot of the Space Needle. Originally planned as a memorial to Seattle native Jimi Hendrix, the museum grew to encompass not only Hendrix, but all of the Northwest rock scene (from "Louie Louie" to grunge) and the general history of American popular music.The most popular exhibits here (after the Jimi Hendrix room) are the interactive rooms. In one room you can play guitars, drums, keyboards, or even DJ turntables. In another, you can experience what it's like to be onstage performing in front of adoring fans. Another exhibit focuses on the history of guitars and includes some of the first electric guitars, which date from the early 1930s.Regularly scheduled concerts are held in the museum's main hall, known as the Sky Church. To help you get the most out of your visit (and at $20 per ticket, you certainly expect plenty), every visitor is issued a Museum Exhibit Guide (MEG), a hand-held electronic player filled with recorded audio clips explaining the various exhibits. Give yourself plenty of time to explore this unusual museum.
University Inn
Located within easy walking distance of the university, this renovated 1960s hotel offers surprisingly attractive rooms, many with views of Lake Union. Although the least expensive units (called "traditional rooms") have bathrooms with showers but no tubs, they make up for this shortcoming with small balconies. The deluxe rooms, which have refrigerators and microwaves, are more spacious, and those on the west side of the hotel offer glimpses of Lake Union (the best views are in winter). For even more space and the best views, opt for one of the premier rooms, which have large windows and extra-comfy beds (ask for room no. 331, which has a view of Mount Rainier).
Holiday Inn Downtown Seattle
With a restaurant serving Asian and Northwest fare and an espresso cart in the lobby, this Holiday Inn 3 blocks from the Space Needle is far superior to the older budget chain motels in this neighborhood. Sure, rates are a little bit higher than at the other places (if you can get a discounted rate, then prices are comparable), but the rooms are far more comfortable. There are even special family units with bunk beds.
Hosteling International--Seattle
This conveniently located hostel, housed in the former Longshoreman's Hall, which was built in 1915, is popular with young European and Japanese travelers. It's right between Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square, only 2 blocks away from the waterfront, which makes it very convenient for exploring downtown Seattle. A kitchen and luggage-storage facility make this a solid budget alternative. Some of the hostel's rooms even have views of Puget Sound. To get here, walk down Post Alley, which runs through and under Pike Place Market, to the corner of Union Street.
