There's a nice little park w/a view of downtown, the space needle and mt. rainier. Ahh, just found it: Kerry Park Then there's Archie McPhee's, whose catalogs you may have seen. Purveyors of unusual, strange, and otherwise fascinating items, it's a blast to visit their store. If you drink coffee and can't get Peet's, Tulley's from Seattle isn't bad. We chronicled our 30th anniversary trip up there last year; you may find some of it interesting or useful.
