The monorail is pretty fun, and the Public Market you referred to is the Pike Place Market, which I always love going to every time I visit Seattle. Lots of great vendors there--I even had one remember me when I'd pop in every 18 months or so since I always bought some of her silver jewelry.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

You could go to Elliott Bay bookstore!
And then on Cap Hill there's plenty of little shops to walk into...

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I can't remember where we are now keeping the music.
Jilli and Pete's house.

Yup, Frankenbuddha is closer to the truth, for Pete & Jilli's house is where we keep the snerk.

No honey, that's the snArk. Snark. Snark is kept at your house.
Not snerk.
And also? It's where the adorable is kept, in untold quantities.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I am all for root beer samplers in the hospitality suite.
I have enough in PayPal to cover Prom and will send that posthaste, but I'm definitely up for adding a little extra for the root beers.

A friend also recommended checking out the Public Market (I think, that's what she said), which also looks reasonable walking distance.
yes, according to google maps, it's about half a mile from the hotel. Easy peasy. I was thinking of wandering over there for brunch on Saturday (brunch being grabbing whatever looks good from the stands, not a sit down thing) and going wherever afterward.

The last time I was in Seattle ... eesh, it was 1994 or 1996! ... I visited Elliott Bay Books. There was also a used book store specializing in SF ... out near Green Lake? does that sound right? I remember they had several cats slounging around the store (I rode the Seattle bus system!). Pioneer Square was interesting, if someplace I wouldn't want to wander through at night. They also had one of those bus/trolley tours where you pay for a ticket and can hop off and back on along their route, which is useful for getting around town.
