That's right, we're going to a Major League ball game!!! I'm SO stoked. We chose a weekend to head down to Seattle this summer and it just happened that the Yankees are playing. Sweeeeet.When I was a kid my Grandpa and I used to watch a ton of MLB, we LOVED it but we never saw anything in person. So this is huge for me. I can't WAIT to have a hot dog and a beer. It's a night game too, so if the weather is good it will be amazing.
This is the view from our seats according to the Mariners website. Oh yeah....I can taste the beer already.
The morning after we bought these tickets we realized our passports expired 5 months ago. Holy Mother F***er!! It's all sorted out though, it's not like it was 5 years ago in the passport offices.There's a ferry that leaves right from downtown Victoria and goes straight to downtown Seattle - so no driving required!! The ball game is the only thing we have planned for sure so far.
The only other thing I must do is have at least one good coffee there. We'll hit Pike Place Market for sure, and we're not sure what else. Anybody have any recommendations?

it's going to be great!! Are you you guys staying there for the whole weekend?
Our trip to Seattle last year was a blur of a Clipper ride and a DEPECHE MODE concert!!
One of my other Victoria blog friends recently went to Seattle, though: maybe her post will give you some ideas? Check it out:

Your trip sounds great! I love going to baseball games, even if they are a bit boring. I almost went to one when I visited Seattle in 2007, and now I wonder why I didn't.
I hope that you enjoy it.
I loved Pike Place when I went to Seattle. I also did the Experience Music thing, which was meh. They'd put away their Jimi Hendrix exhibit when I was there.
I really liked a bookstore in Union Square (I think the neighbourhood was called) called Elliot Bay books. It was really cool and I septa a long time there.
Hope you have a great time!
rawbean - We're leaving in the afternoon on Saturday and returning in the afternoon on Monday.
Dana - Oh YEAH! Depeche Mode!! Well from your friend's blog I know where to eat!
Christielli - we are considering the Experience Music thing but we weren't really sure. Maybe Union Square is better......although I'm sort of banned from bookstores right now....
There is something about hot dogs and beer at a baseball game. Somehow they just taste better.
One year during high school I lived just south of Seattle. Now understand this is from my high school mindset...but...there is the flagship REI there that is awesome and you can rock climb, and there is also the museum of contemporary art that when I was there had an amazing Chihuly in the foyer.
Have fun!
