My Review (6)
I live next to New York City, which might be why other cities seem less exciting to me. I think the Space Needle & restaurant look nice. Original Starbucks seems cool, and so does the Fremont section. Some of the hotels are beautiful. It seems like there aren't that many things to do, though, just a few tourist attractions. I also don't really like rainy weather. But I haven't visited, so I'm not sure on my opinion yet!
