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.

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park
"At 3 o'clock this morning the steamship Portland, from St. Michaels for Seattle, passed up (Puget) Sound with more than a ton of gold on board and 68 passengers." When the Seattle Post-Intelligencer published that sentence on July 17, 1897, it started a stampede. Would-be miners heading for the Klondike goldfields in the 1890s made Seattle their outfitting center and helped turn it into a prosperous city. When they struck it rich up north, they headed back to Seattle, the first U.S. outpost of civilization, and unloaded their gold, making Seattle doubly rich. Although this place isn't in the Klondike (that's in Canada) and isn't really a park (it's a single room in an old store), it's still a fascinating little museum, and it seems only fitting that it should be here in Seattle. (Another unit of the park is in Skagway, Alaska.) There are plans to move this facility to a historic building at the corner of South Jackson Street and Second Avenue South, so be sure to call before visiting.

Nordic Heritage Museum
Housed in a former school building, this is primarily a neighborhood museum that focuses on the experiences of Scandinavian immigrants in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. However, it also mounts exhibits of Scandinavian and Scandinavian-inspired art, and these temporary exhibits are what make this little museum worth seeking out for those who aren't of Scandinavian heritage. The Dream of America exhibit on the first floor does an excellent job of explaining why Scandinavians began immigrating to the United States and how they ended up settling in Ballard. Up on the third floor, each of the Nordic countries gets a display room of its own. In mid-July each year, the museum sponsors the Tivoli/Viking Days festival, which includes booths serving Nordic foods.

Great Value at a Low cost.

monica, San Diego, CA

The Space needle and EMP and the Seattle Science museum are about 5 mins away on foot. Pikes place market is about 10. The ferries and Chinatown are about 15 to 20 mins.

The Eighth Avenue Inn is a great hotel for your money. A friend of mine and I went to Seattle on Vacation, we chose this place because of the price, and were quite surprised to see what a great place it was for such a low cost. The room was decent, the only problem that I came across was that the shower had low water pressure, and the water didn't get as hot as I would have liked. But other then that everything was great. They have a wonderful continental breakfast, with pretty much anything you could want, coffee, tea, orange juice, bagels, muffins, bread to make toast, assorted cereals, and even hot cinnamon rolls, and breakfast didn't end until 10:30. The place was in downtown Seattle and you could pretty much walk anywhere, which we did. Overall great experience.

Outstanding Breakfast

Anonymous, Orlando, FL

The hotel is a short, brisk walk from a number of outstanding restaurants and stores.

I found the hotel comfortable and satisfactory. Where the accommodation excelled was its outstanding continental breakfast. The piping hot sweet rolls were enough to bring me back to this setting (again and again).

Very Convenient and Friendly

Anonymous, Portland, OR

The hotel was close to the Space Needle as well as the Paramount Theatre for our entertainment.

The Seattle 8th Ave Inn was very convenient to all our activities. The staff was friendly allowing early check in and late check out.

The downtown is just a few blocks from the hotel.

The eighth Ave Inn was somewhat comfortable, the room seemed clean and large with a desk area and a table. and it's very near from Downtown. But there is one thing-- The noise can be heard at night.

OK for Family

Fred, Long Beach, CA, 2007-02-15

Good if you have to be in the harbor area.

The Eighth Ave. INN is located pretty good and has it's own parking lot (Costs $ 5/Night). They have Wireless internet which is good enough. The rooms are not so nice to stay in concerning cleanness the shower is outdated and does not feel comfortable. The price was a little on the high side.

A place to sleep with WiFi

Rolland, Denver, CO, 2007-02-02

There is a large Whole Foods Market, with a great take away section, only 1 block across the parking lot. Access to I-5 and the Experiance Museum is easy.

Adequate service, 6:30am light breakfast, morning newspaper, extra to park your car on site, and WiFi. Good location for downtown and highway access.

Close to downtown, Seattle Tower and Ferries area.

This is the kind of hotel one would love to have anywhere, when all you want is a quiet, clean, appealing place to sleep and rest. After spending all day out in the city, it was nice to come back to a room like home.

Very good area

j.todd, 2006-11-02

There is a cafe next door that serves food at all hours, and has a bar as well. On nights I didn't want to go the extra several blocks, I could enjoy a leisurely beverage and a good meal when it was convenient for me!

The Eighth Ave. Inn is in a great location, within walking distance from many hot spots including the space needle and many other must see" sites. The room was comfortable and well maintained, with liquid soap, shampoo and body wash in the shower, a pleasant surprise. WIFI was available for a nominal fee, so my business and personal mail were accesible to my laptop computer from my room. I was able to set up a mini office on a provided table and relax in one of two comfortable chairs. I had little interaction with hotel staff, but those I did were hospitable and friendly, never intrusive. I also enjoyed the complimentary newspaper on the door each morning."

Friendly Faces and Hot Cinnamon Buns

Jeffrey, Philadelphia, PA, 2006-07-30

You wake up, look out the front window, and BOOYAH!!! The Space Needle is in your face.

The Eight Ave Inn in downtown Seattle was awesome...only a few blocks away from shopping and a stones throw from the Space Needle!!! The free continental breakfast was a bonus with their hot cinnamon buns and orange juice machine...The staff was amazing, mostly young kids, but very helpful...This is a great hotel for young-mid 20 year olds!!! If there was a pool I'd give it a 10, but it'll have to be a 9.5 from me, haha....I recommend the Eight Ave Inn.
