Seattle trip

We are going to be in Seattle (Issaquah area mostly) for around two weeks the first of February. Any suggestions for good places to eat?

Ken, I can't recommend any places but if  I were going there I'd get some blacken salmon and also some oysters.  When I went TDY out there a lot a fellow took me to a place on the water in Tacoma that was excellent. But seafood is what I'd fill up on.
I assume you are flying.  Watching people in the SeaTac airport is a trip.  You see everything in the world there.

If it is is any stranger than the International concourse at Miami, I don't know if I can handle it. I will have to try some oysters for sure just to confirm that Apalachicola oysters are the best in the world.

I won't have much time to meet up with anyone. My daughter is having surgery and we will mostly be tending to her. Hopefully we can get out for a meal or two.

Ken, You will see people from the north..Eskimos, Indians and others not normally seen down South.  Plenty of hippies though--just like Atlanta but more so.  Beautiful country.

I wasn't thinking so much of a meet up - but that he would know some good places to try. He helped me out when I was there last fall, even though we never got together.

Here are a couple of places we like to go:

The Fisherman's Restaurant (personal favorite for Alder Smoked fish)
Seattle Waterfront
1301 Alaskan Way
I would recommend getting smoked fish and chips at the outside walk up seafood bar. - Smoked over real alder wood - choice of Salmon, Halibut, or cod.  Halibut is my personal favorite - no breading just smoked over real wood fire - and huge jo jo fries to go with

Salty's on Alki Beach
1936 Harbor Ave SW
Sit down - a little pricey but the views are amazing and the food is pretty good.

Elliot's Oyster House
1201 Alaskan Way
Seattle Waterfront

A traditional mainstay here is Ivar's Acres of Clams on the Seattle Waterfront
1001 Alaskan Way
Seattle Waterfront

Have not tried it but have heard that Ivar's Salmon House is a great Sunday bruch spot and excellent Seattle views
401 NE Northlake Way

The Athenian Inn - Pike's Place market
1517 Pike Pl Ste 1517
Tom Hanks ate there in the film "Sleepless in Seattle"  Have not been there but have heard the food is great.

Good Luck enjoy your time in Seattle.  I hope your Daughter has a speedy recovey.
