Not sure about Seattle, but the Pan in Vancouver was the nicest place I've ever stayed. Massages to Diana Krall music, live jazz bar in the commons, stocked fridge in the room and porters and bellhops ever 30 feet anticipating your every need....no reason to venture
what more can you ask from the heroin capital of North America circa 2002
We did stay in Seattle for a night or two at the Windham...do make the trip west to the ocean...feet in the ocean and Mt. Olympia on the horizon..pretty f*n cool...check out local food dives by the ocean...great salmon
