Yeah, there are sketchy areas, but we've got 4 million people in a pretty small area between Everett and Tacoma. Seems like we should have some options besides the vast multitude of teriyaki restaurants. [Reply]

It wasn't fast food, but perhaps the coolest restaurant I've ever eaten at was in Seattle. It was called the Icon Grill, and was recommended by the staff of the hotel we were at. The interior was like the Cheers bar on steroids, and the food was amazing. I had a cajun pasta dish that was one of the best things I've ever tasted in my life. The wife and I were so impressed that we went back the next morning for breakfast. Sadly, it closed the following year. [Reply]

If we ever go again, we'll be getting seats on the FLOOR
The upper level is sooo freaking steep it gave me vertigo, absolutely hated it... I'd bet my next paycheck multiple drunks have died taking a tumble from up there [Reply]

Are Skipper's and/or Arctic Circle still around? I worked for both at one point when I lived in the Portland area. Skipper's clam chowder is still my wife's favorite. I ordered some cans a couple years ago just to put a smile on her face. [Reply]

Never been in the balcony, but my worst concert experience was there. The theater wasn't air conditioned (they've finally fixed that) and we were there on a miserably hot and humid summer night. It was fucking brutal - hotter inside than outside, and it was still nasty outside as well. Didn't help that Dokken, the opening act for Tom Keifer, gave far and away the worst performance I've ever seen live. It was like an angry old drunk doing bad karaoke. And of course the audience was mostly fellow middle-aged fat people, so the sweat stink got going quickly. Ugh. Keifer at least put on a great show, but by that point it didn't matter.
I have seen some good shows there, though. It's a neat old theater. [Reply]
