Aloha-
say hi to Pam and Nancy at Premier Pacific- you can use me for a reference.
The bus is good- and free around downtown.
Free internet at the library- or there is an internet cafe near Stella Coffee on 1st. Buy a drink and get an hour for free if you get in there early:)
The library is pretty cool- 10 (?) stories tall.
I would stop by SUP and IBU while you are there- maybe SIU- but you have a hall in Honolulu…
Tourist stuff-
Definitely take a ferry ride ($6), walk around the Seattle center/Space needle, wander the Pike Place market (early morning is best) and check out the locks in Ballard- free entertainment:D
Trident Seafoods is another good place to stop.
Foss has some tugs at pier 90/91, there’s also an MSRC boat there- and lots of fishing vessels- especially American Seafoods…
I usually ate on the ship- but there are lots of good cheap places to eat downtown.
There’s a grocery store a block or two south of the Mcdonalds downtown- and both a Safeway and a Fred Meyer (kinda like Wal Mart) over in Ballard not far from Coastal et al…
One warning- unless you are going to a job fair- or have an appointment- don’t go to Cruisewest. They wouldn’t let me apply- told me to fill out an online application.
Oh yeah- don’t go anywhere without an umbrella!
