What if you are 11 years old, what is there to do in Seattle if you're from Iceland and have never been here. Here's a short summary for all those little boys who would be bored taking a walking tour. The top ten are:
- The Boeing Everett Tour Center Home. Tickets are $10 each if they are reserved ahead of time and are $3-5 on the day of. You call 1-800-464-1476 9-11AM, Noon-3 M-F. Tours begin at
9:00, 10:00, and 11:00 a.m. and 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 p.m. Monday through Friday - Pacific Science Center IMAX. Wow, they have Harry Potter on IMAX. An amazing screen and the Boeing IMAX is amazing.
- Family Fun Center or Champ Go Carts. Owned by my buddy Mike Conte, this is really fun way to spend a day but you need to be 12. Sigh too bad, but Family Fun Center is a good spot.
- Wild Waves. A great park for riding the waves.
- Experience Music Project. Well maybe not for the average 11 year old, but great for dad's who are musicians.
- Museum of Flight. Not to be missed if you love things with motors. You can get into a Concorde, Air Force One and also see an amazing number of World War II and other planes.
- Afternoon at Alki. Get out to Alki beach, enjoy the view, have a snack then take the water taxi to downtown and come back.
- Fishing in Seattle. OK, maybe not sleepless, but fun nonetheless
