I don't really follow baseball (or sports, really), but when it coems down to it, Yankees. I sort of have an obligation to them. Uncle's a lawyer for 'em, and some of the guys are pretty cool.

In general? Check out international district, the food there is awesome. I usually hit Uwajimaya's to shop for stuff, but in particular the Happy Bakery is a good place to go to. House of Hong also has pretty good Dim Sum. It's the only place I can think of that serves duck hum bao.
Pike Place Market is crowded, but it's still a cool place. But it is a market, so it's a lot of flowers and fruit and souvenirs and crap like that.
I'd check out the waterfront, actually. The piers have lots of things going on usually. The curiousity shop is something of interest, but it's mostly odd curio items. Mummified people and creatures, random deformed animals, etc. The aquarium is pretty neat, too.
A lot of good bands play at venues like the Showbox and the Crocodile Cafe. I've only been to the Catwalk, personally, but a lot of good shows are usually going on. You could probably go to most venues any other night and see a good show.
Seattle is a place you can easily walk around, and you can catch the busses around most of the city for free, so don't worry about transport too much. Everything is pretty close together anyway. The monorail is broken, otherwise I'd say check it out.
Just wander around is my basic advice. You'll find a lot of cool places pretty easily.

Seattle can be super pretty (the surrounding suburbs).
I've seen pictures of my best friend's house near-ish (okay, not really, but it's a few hours drive I think) there, and the scenery is gorgeous.
The weather definitely explains why so many people there are on prozac&co. xd

I think annually, NYC recieves more. But yeah, the landscapes are beautiful. A lot of artists live in the areas around Seattle, so a lot of areas have weird street art feels to them. And there is a pretty heavy asian influance, so lots of pagodas and cherry blossoms around too. It's nice.

Hmm...the rain, you ask? I do enjoy the rain...especially in late spring, and even the time of year when summer is cooling off. I like rain on warm days, because I chill easily.
Big storms still tend to frighten me, though. The high speed winds and the thunder and lightning. It just makes me want to hide under my covers. >o>
Edit: On the subject of Seattle...I've lived here my whole life, and I can't think of anywhere else I'd like to live.

I like rain. I wish we had more rain here right now, even after the constant downpour that happened for like 19571389237 days nonstop in March/early April. It's hot now. sad

It rained a lot more than I expected in winter, but now we're getting towards the hotter months. I'll be lucky to see rain again before October or so.
Today's weather in Iraq is sunny with a high of HOTTER THAN THE SURFACE OF THE SUN.

Love rain. One of the few things I like about the spring and summer here is tornado season. Sooo many storms. I love huge rain storms. But then afterwards its all muggy and humid. Gross.

reddy2bplayd What's your favorite part? The scary storms or the hiding under the covers? Well, when you put it that way.... But I like the lightning. The windstorms are alright too when they have interesting stuff to blow around besides leaves and garbage.
