pantsattack I'm not really a fan of Gameworks. It was pretty lacklustre for me.
P.S. How many of you guys/gals have a Switch? :)

You should totally go to Stumbling Monk. A taste of Old Seattle still chugging along. Now I'm sad I can't go.
I have an interview in Seattle on the 7th. Flying in from toronto. I'll have most of the 7th and the afternoon/evening on the 6th to explore a bit. Any places worth while? I don't have too much time so I figured I'd just walk around downtown and maybe take a boat ride - I'd like to get a nice view of the skyline.
Take a Water Taxi over to Alki. Might as well eat at Marination Makai while you're over there!

What things do you like to do? Food? Beer? Shopping?
Ayyyy fellow Torontonian. ;)
Pike St is basically the Yonge St of Seattle.
Hike, but I suppose it's the wrong time of year for that lol, and the mountains are a bit far away. So mainly just explore the city - I'll check out the Pike Street area as recommended above , maybe eat at a restaurant or two (or three... Lol). And if I have time I'll take a water taxi out.
Along the Pike-Pine corridor I'd recommend Quinn's, Stateside, Sitka and Spruce, Stumbling Monk, Mamnoon, Trove, Pine Box and Taylor Shellfish. But definitely take the water taxi to Alki and eat at Marination Makai.

Guadalajara is my second favorite Mexican city. I loved it there.
To be honest, I wouldn't have left if it wasn't because of my brothers.
There's now a direct flight Seattle - Guadalajara through Volaris. In case someone wants to try some tortas ahogadas.
Frelard (Ballard) Pizza Company. They'll deliver via Amazon.
I like Pagliacci's salad a lot, though.
Ha the salad is actually the reason I ordered tonight. I can tell myself I just had salad - ignoring the fact that it probably has more calories than the pizza. I add mama lils peppers and it's perfection.
I like Pagliacci, but when I lived on Latona I used to go to Pudge Bros. on 45th a bunch. Been a few years though.

It's a bit far north but my typical place is Good Guys. The pizza is pretty good and $12 for a large 3 topping is hard to resist. Don't mind that it is a tiny hole in the wall between a stripper joint and a hair salon.

Anybody interested in Stumbling Monk this Saturday? Let's settle on something and see what happens. I'll bring nachos.
Yup I'm down! We can also play Smash and/or Mario Kart and/or FIFA and/or COD Zombies at my place after too if you guys want. :)
The Brussels Snout is amazing, but think of it more like a casserole than a pizza. Holy caloric excess, Batman!
The only problem with them is their pizza is too good, and ruins all other pizza. The Carbonara*... egg, pancetta, garlic... easily the best pizza I ever had, at least until I had them throw some Mama Lil's peppers on there too and then it was even better. They got a Big Moses pizza on the menu too. It's their pizza of the day, and you are kinda supposed to order it blind ("Have some faith, it'll be good" the menu says. Yes you can ask what's on it before ordering, and they'll tell you, but that's cheating). I order that pretty often too, because I love not making a decision. One time it was like "ehh, pretty good" and the rest it was great.
*I have had trouble getting them to deliver the Carbonara, due to the egg, but I live close enough to walk over and pick it up and it's worth it even in shitty rain and what not
Not delivery but I'll recommend it anyway: Dino's in Capitol Hill
Their deep dish is so freaking good.
