Visit these places in Seattle at your own risk!

My advice: If you visit Seattle, come wearing a bulletproof or Kevlar vest! Drug gang violence is out of control in the city. This past weekend 10/29-29 2006, ten people were sent to the hospital, three in very critical condition following a weekend of gunfire and violence in downtown Seattle! These stabbings and shooting didn't happen in Rainier Valley south of downtown (the Valley of Death) where most of the gunshot victims come from, these came FROM DOWNTOWN SEATTLE.
As for the so-called best places in this book, many of the street corners of these "best places" are OWNED by drug dealers who stand there in rain or shine selling meth or crack, while the police look on and do nothing because they say THEY DON'T HAVE PROBABLE CAUSE! Yeah, sure ya bet cha! It just turns out the drug lords are better armed than the police.

Cool eats
Pretty much an overview. Excellent "quick" guide to Seattle. Good info for further investigation.

Great Guide For Your Trip!
I used this guide and it was the best thing I did. I recently went to Seattle for the first time this past Sept. Everything was clear and informative and on the money. Easy to navigate with this guide as far as getting around town and what to do while you're there and even side trips to Bristish Columbia. I had a GREAT time there and I will be going again soon. I recommend this to anyone planning a trip to Seattle.
