Default Work trip!!! I'll be in Seattle from June 18-23

Sorry to bother everyone but as I said I will be in Seattle for work from June 18-23. I was just wondering if anyone could give me some suggestions on things to do and places to go. I will be working so I won't have much time during the day to do things. But, I would like to venture out a little while I'm there. Maybe sight-seeing or just going hang out somewhere cool where there is no trouble. I'm not the type of person that likes trouble. Is anybody meeting up to hangout anywhere? Oh well, please help me out and make some suggestions. Thanks.

Dustin

Edit: Thanks everybody for volunteering to help out and hang out. I appreciate it. Unfornately, I will have to postpone my trip. My boss came to my office about 5 o'clock and told me I have some other stuff to do before I go up to Seattle. You all sound like a bunch of cool guys. I will have to wait and see when I'm coming up. I will keep you guys updated and hopefully you will all still want to go hangout. Thanks.

Get on a ferry boat on the waterfront and do a round trip. The ride back into the city at sunset is great!

Exactly what city are you going to? Seattle is sometimes a vague term for anywhere in the general Puget Sound Region.

The company I work for is located between Boeing Field/King Co. International Airport and West Seattle. Its on the East bank of Duwamish Waterway. I don't know what hotel I will be staying at yet but does that give you a good idea of where I will be.

uh thats not really seattle. thats kind of further south near renton. but itll be all good ur going to be stationed near the airport im assuming. Let us know.
Also because no one really knows what else is around seattle. Seattle equals:

1. Seattle
2. Bellevue
3. Lynnwood
4. Renton
5. Issaquah
6. about a 100 mile radius around seattle lol

You will be close to where I work, I could come get you and take you to lunch.
If I have a free evening, I could take you into Seattle for some food and brews.

Well since you'll be here during a work week, how about if its nice we can all roll over to Alki beach in West Seattle and get some grub and beers and take some photos? I work downtown also I can drive the Z to work and pick you up to meet the rest of the guys that are local if you want
