Q. What are the best places for someone 20 and 21 to visit in Seattle? Looking for fun things to do...Doesn't necessarily have to be bars, etc. Sightseeing is fine too- just looking for neat city things to do since we've never been there before. Thanks!
A. There's a lot to check out if you've never been to Seattle...
Definitely the stadium is great for checking out a Mariners game at Safeco Field. There really aren't bad seats in the house and it's an amazing stadium. It makes me forget about the Kingdome...
If you aren't coming right now, it's always great and exciting if you're here during football season to check out a Seahawks game at Qwest Field, right across the street from Safeco Field. Experience the sound and excitement of one of the nation's loudest crowds of fans!
Check out Pike Place Market for all sorts of interesting shops, the first Starbucks (if you like Starbucks), and great fresh produce, fish and baked goods! It's right near the piers so you can just walk to the piers to check out the aquarium, the waterfront, great ferry rides, and Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, a quirky gift shop complete with real mummies in the back!
Seattle Center has a lot of offerings, from the Space Needle to the Experience Music Project, to the Fun Forest, downtown Seattle's mini-amusement park. Rides for adults and also kiddie rides if you're bringing children. In July, there's the Bite of Seattle going on on the grounds of Seattle Center and it's a food festival with lots of "cheap" eats. It's a free weekend festival!
The Seattle Art Museum is great to visit if you are interested in art and you can easily walk there from the Pike Place Market.
In the Ballard area, a bit out of downtown Seattle, is a quirky fun shop called Archie McPhee on Market St. in the heart of Ballard. It's a great, albeit a bit strange, gift shop that's full of surprising and entertaining goodies! People come from all around to check it out even though it's a bit out of the way. It's easy enough to find and you can easily catch a bus or get directions from downtown.
If you have the time, passports, and the willingness to negotiate transportation, 2 hours north is Vancouver BC, which is a great city to visit and has an amazing Chinatown!

What would be some good gifts for a Japanese 13 year-old boy?
Q. I live in Baltimore, Maryland and a 13-year old boy from Kawasaki, Japan is staying at my house for 2 and a half weeks. I need to get him several gifts, but unfortunately I don't know anything else about him. Does anyone know any general gift ideas? Would something Baltimore-themed be good, or tacky?
A. That's a tough one... typical japanese boys of those age nowadays are into games and mangas of their own country.
If you can at least find out what sort of sports he follows, it would make things little easier. Like, if he follow baseball, then something to do with Ichiro (Seattle Mariners), Daisuke Matsuzaka (Boston Red Sox), or any of the Japanese baseball players would be good. If he follow football, then something to do with David Beckham (Los Angeles Galaxy) might be cool.
