The garage at Pike Place isn't bad. The lots around Seattle Center can be pretty pricey, especially on weekends, but if you don't mind waling a couple of blocks you can find some lots with much better prices. Same thing down by the waterfront. I would say that except for at Pike Place, you will be better at one of the small little lots that are sprinkled all over place than in a garage.

I know you asked if i was going to DL in December in another thread and i cant remember which on it is lol. We will be there from the 24th until the 1st and will probably do a few other things too. I went to WDW over Xmas, so i am expecting it to be nuts.

Originally Posted By WDWdreamin I second the comment about the restaurant in the Space Needle. My husband and I have done that three times and loved it. Yes, it's pricey, but we would've paid to go up anyway, and the food was good and service excellent for us each time.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance We hit Pike's Place, Space Needle couple times, PCS, EMP, saw Brave at the Southcenter mall, went to the Disney store (yay!), Rainforest Cafe twice, Zoo, Harbor tour, ate at Cheesecake Factory for the first time and we all loved it!, and Aquarium. Did everything we were intending to do, just didn't have a lot of time to really explore Pike's Place as much as we would have liked.
Originally Posted By tashajilek Wow, i cant believe you managed to fit all those things in your trip! Im so glad your family had a wonderful time. I have done everything you have done and i know it can take some time seeing as most things are in busy downtown. I got back Monday myself and in 2 days in downtown Seattle we only visited Pikes market twice, shopping, visited jimmy hendrix grave site LOL and went to a few casino's. Pikes market really does need a lot of time. We must have spent a total of 6 hours and we didnt even get through everything.
