If you'd hopped on the Monorail you could've ridden it to the Space Needle....and back....it's just a novelty, really. It was built in the early 1960s and never expanded because, well, monorails actually kind of suck. Luckily Seattle has excellent light rail that does the real work of getting people around town.

The original Starbucks, in the Pike Street Market, did not SERVE coffee! There was no espresso machine in the shop. It carried coffee beans that you could buy (they would grind them for you. Or you could buy small coffee grinders there), as well as lovely big chunks of the most delicious chocolate (milk choc, dark choc and white choc (which isn't technically choc) in glass canisters). I bought a beautiful Chinese pressed tea brick there (in the early 70s)... which I still have!

Stuff about Seattle: The monorail does "look pretty good" but that's really all it does. That, and complicate traffic. You'll never wont for a hearty breakfast here- Breakfast in Seattle is practically a fetish. Don't miss the buskers. Also, don't _dis_ the buskers. A lot of them are extremely talented, and more importantly, they work _really hard_ . A list of less-touristy destinations: Green Lake The Arboretum Golden Gardens and/or Carkeek Park The Center of the Universe in Fremont. The Fremont Troll Gasworks Park Ballard Locks A million lovely pubs.

Seattle was the greatest in the eighties. The music scene, funky neighborhoods, old timers, artists, hangers on, just crazy but great. Before the tech explosion and insane real estate prices, insane rents which fed in to the current housing and homeless crisis. Before fucking Starbucks. Before gentrification. It was gritty, rainy, funky and somehow warm and homey. People were more friendly, more easy going, more open. It was a brilliant time to live there.

I'm a Seattle native, but I don't get the gum wall either. I'm not sure if they still do tours, but there's an underground Seattle too. In 1889 the original Seattle burned down and they raised the street level. There's a hidden underground city as a result. Legends say it's haunted down there.

Funny you should mention The Simpsons monorail episode. Seattle had a "Life Imitates Art" moment with that. There was a plan to expand the monorail from just it's one little route that is left over from the World's Fair. This was post-Simpsons monorail episode. Won't go in to the whole story, but lets just say that it didn't happen, the city lost money, and local newspapers almost got in to trouble with (I think it was copyright infringement?) for making so many references to that episode.

Seattle native checking in. Glad you enjoyed our town. I bestow upon you the title of Honorary Seattelite because not ONCE did you call it Pike's Place Market. I'm sorry the line for the original Starbucks was so long, there are literally 4 more in a 2 block radius, but honestly can we agree SB is not great coffee...it's just *convenient* coffee. The better tourist visit IMO would be to the Starbucks Reserve Roastery at 1124 pike..It's their test kitchen so to speak. The coffee is actually better depending on what you ordered and is waaaay less busy. If has truly unique offerings including alcohol too, so that's kinda neat. I used to walk through Pike Place on my way to work every day and the gumwall is indeed not right. I used to party in the area in the 90s when it started and it had to do with young grunge enthusiasts (myself included) staging impromptu mosh parties in that alley as several grunge music clubs kind of emptied there. Gumming up the wall was kind of a FU to the man while we thrashdanced to boomboxes on foggy 3am mornings. I'm even surprised it's become a tourist attraction. I hope you're still in town, you should definitely get over to Alki Beach or Golden Gardens beach for a sunset if possible. Also check out Volunteer Park. It's a strange old park. Kind of the SEA answer to Central Park, but with a graveyard attached. The Asian Museum + Botanical Garden is a great reason to hit Volunteer Park by itself.

That would be a narrow band of valleys between the coast range on the west and the Cascades on the east stretching from Seattle down through Portland and on to Eugene about 110 miles south of Portland. The Pacific coast is wetter and milder. Everyplace else has greater extremes in temperature. But the majority of the population lives in that narrow corridor.

Hey! It's us! Great get together! And love seeing folks enjoy my home town! A couple fun add-ons to the video: In the Simpsons Monorail episode, when the train starts to run out of control, the sticker that says "Springfield Monorail" peels back to reveal a sticker that says "Worlds Fair 1964" which is referencing that the Seattle Monorail that was built for the Words Fair (But in 1962, not 1964. The same World's fair that gave us the Space Needle and the Seattle Center Coliseum as well). They're saying the Springfield Monorail IS the recycled Seattle Monorail. The Seattle Worlds Fair line was just a demonstration of the technology, so it has only 2 stops and runs only about 1-1/2 miles from the Seattle Center grounds to Downtown. There were plans in the early 2000's to build a full fledged 15mi long monorail line from Ballard to West Seattle through Downtown, but the project fell victim to budget issues and was eventually cancelled. They're now planning an extension to the light rail system on the same route that will be done in 2035. The "Original Starbucks" is not actually the "first" Starbucks location. The "first" location that opened in 1971 was located just 300ft North from the "Original" at Western Ave and Virginia St. The building that housed it (The old Hotel Conklin Building) was demolished in 1976, so they moved just down to road to its current location. So it's still the oldest Starbucks location remaining, but not the first (For locals, Seatown Pub now occupies the corner location of the first Starbucks). They also weren't a café when they first opened. It was more like a retail tea shop where people mostly bought bags of whole bean coffee (like you get in the grocery store aisles) instead of made to order beverages and food. It was Howard Schultz, who they hired as a sales rep in 1982, who started them on the idea that they should make their retail spaces into European style coffee houses/cafes (after he attended a coffee trade show in Milan). He eventually took over the company and is still their CEO to this day. Hope the trip is going well and looking forward to the California, Texas, and Chicago videos!

Kells used to be a funeral home. :D Also, the pub part is a terrifying place to play music. Good food, but way over-priced.

@@mygreatescape9617 My band played there, in the bar, on St. Pat's one year, and it was terrifying. 😆 The bar is in this long, narrow concrete bunker of a room, door and bar at the front, stage at the very back. On St. Pat's it was packed well over capacity, and if for any reason we needed to leave in a hurry, it would not have gone well at all. I've never felt so trapped. But I don't want to speak ill of the business in general. The food really is very good.

Are there scary stories associated? Wait till you see some of the dungeons we call pubs in Scotland 😅

I've lived here since 1981, too bad you didn't visit about 20 years ago when it was still a great city. Now I even avoid going downtown.

Im so sad that I was out of town when u visited. I have been recommending that come visit Seattle for years. I'm so glad u finally got to see our beautiful city. I wish there was more Seattle footage, especially if you went to Mount Rainier, to any of the beaches, the old growth forest (Grove of the Patriarchs is my fav) with the unfathomably enormous trees, out on the ferries in Puget Sound to the islands, to Mount St. Helens, or up to the rainforest in northern Washington. There is so much beautiful scenery to be enjoyed. I hope one day you will come back when you have time to spend a week or two in order to see it all. If you already did, I hope there's footage so we can hear what you thought!

I’m a 53 year old Seattle Native. The gum wall is NOT kept up by the locals. It’s 99% tourists that stick gum on the wall. It’s completely stupid

Awww, I'm sorry! I didn't think to mention that some of the most interesting shops in the Market are downstairs. And there's a little restaurant down there with great views out over the water. I'm a BAD subscriber! Seattle has a funky side that I adore. And did no-one throw fish to the purchasers at the fish market? The shame! I hope you enjoyed it, anyway. Ivar's Acres of Clams restaurant is on the waterfront as well as the Aquarium and Ye Old Curiosity Shop .The Freeway Park is kinda cool, too. Wish I coulda flown up to drag ya'll around. Next time!

I also think Starbucks coffee is gross. It doesn't even smell good. It's mostly milk and sugar now. I at least enjoy the smell of good coffee roasting and baked goods when you pass a coffee shop, most Starbucks do not have that magic.
