Pike Place market
Experience music project

pioneer square

Question by reblrosek9: Alone In Seattle/Activity Ideas?
I will be turning 40 soon and am planning a 3 day birthday trip to Seattle (about an hour away) by myself. Does anyone have any good hotel and activity ideas for me to do by myself? I’ll be at the Edgewater my birthday night, but need two cheap rooms for the other two days. I’ve thought of the Seattle Art Museum and the parks (weather permitting), know any other things that would be fun to do by myself there?

Seattle Art Museum was the first thing I thought of while reading into this before I got to that part, but…

Well, ferry rides are always fantastic and fun! They can be pretty chilly at times, but still ever fun!

If you are only an hour away, I’m guessing you’ve done Pike Place Market, Seattle Center, etc.? If not, those are always fun! Pike Place is def fun by yourself!

What other things are you going to be doing? Will you be going out in the evenings for a drink/stop by a bar/club/etc? It is your birthday…

Stately guardians preside in shaggy, day-glow pink hair; polar bears wear sweaters that stick out in humorous places; and dancers are adorned with white beaded filigree crowns. Suits like this have never been seen before. Partly this is due to his choice of improbable materials—buttons, plastic tabs, hot pads, metal flowers, sandwich bags, spinning tops and crocheted doilies—which are used to make visually fierce and impeccably detailed suits. Multiple media installations remind us of the desire for these wearable sculptures to move and perform. Photographs of Nick Cave alone and a posse mixing it up in a massive street party show off how playful and unexpected his suits can be. Few suits bridge cultures so effectively. Nick’s “SoundSuits” have been described as a cross between Carnival, Liberace, Shonibare, Cockney, haute couture and African ceremony. He manages to make sculpture that combines high fashion, surface design, recycling, dance and sound. Extremely resourceful, Nick transforms the perception of secondhand or vintage materials and heightens a tension between the ordinary and the imaginary. Given Seattle’s emphasis on street performance, textiles, DIY, recycling and contemporary artists who strive to be the best at their genre of art, this exhibition is a …

It sounds like you got it covered. You are going to be so busy going to all those places (and probably out of money due to costs of getting in to some of them) that you really dont need another place, do you?

Oh my. Take a history class. Take a geography class. A map reading class even. Please. Heck, take a mythology class. You do know that the Olympic games are named after something else, right?
