Reason 47
Seattle. When I talked to you on the phone you revealed you have never visited the glorious Emerald City. For shame! I have lived outside of Seattle for most of my life and it is so incredible that I can't imagine living anywhere else (except maybe New York for a year). Since I have explored so much of the city I make an excellent tour guide and would be more than happy to take you to all the funky shops, inspiring outdoor art installations, bustling farmers' markets, and cozy coffee houses (I'm not talking about Starbucks, sir) that the city has to offer. A few required stops throughout our journey include the giant troll and statue of Lenin in Fremont, Archie McPhee's (a store that you must see to believe), Theo Chocolates for some tasty treats, Pike Place Market, a ferry ride across Puget Sound, and the Experience Music Project for the architecture and some jam time.So, go ahead and clear a week or so in your schedule, Jason, and book a flight up north. Be sure to pack a rain coat and leave the umbrella at home. No self-respecting Seattleite ever uses a bumbershoot.

Wow! I have lived here three years and have not been to all the places you listed. Come on Jason, you have to take the Sarah Tour and maybe I can come along too! hehehehe
