Seattle has a very large Asian population with lots of foods and clothing that you will not find elsewhere.
You can take trips to Underground Seattle. Where the city was located before the big Seattle fire.
The locks in Ballard are not only interesting, but free. You can see boats go from fresh to salt water. At certain times of the year you can see salmon returning from the ocean to spawn in the fresh water. The fish ladder as well as the locks are free.

Pike Place Market.,
Chinatown.
Alki Beach.
University of Washington campus with its libraries.
The many live theater in Seattle. (You can get half price tickets at the Pike Place Market at Ticket, Ticket)
Seattle , Food:
5/10
Between Salty's Brunch on Alki beach to dinner watching the sun go down at Ray's Boathouse on the salt water you cannot beat the seafood Seattle has to offer.
The Dim Sum at "House of Hong" in Chinatown is not only reasonably priced but internationally known as some of the best you can get. (One woman comes all the way from Poland just for their Dim Sum)
Seattle , Hotels:
10/10
If you are loaded there is the Sorento Hotel or the Fairmount Olympic. If you are looking for a mid priced place to stay, Silver Cloud on Lake Union is a great find. Or if you want there are many great Bed and Breakfast for a reasonable price.
Seattle , Safety:

There is very little crime in Seattle. Outside of a few drunk University students around the campus doing what I did many years ago, you will be very happy in all of the city.

Incorrect inormation
Seattle is in Washington NOT California. I've only been on this site twice and both times there were large mistakes! The other error I saw (and this was only a cursory inspection) was that New York was in Alabama. New York is the name of the city and the state the city is in.

French mostly cold
City rating:
I have found the French cold and unfriendly, bordering on rude. But there have been exceptions. It is a beautiful city, guess that's why so many appear arrogant. The system for immigration control at the airport appears racist on the surface as Americans, Europeans and British (mainly white) whiz through and the rest of the world, mainly coloured wait for hours.

French as People
City rating:
The French people are great! Unlike their stereotype says them to be, they are more than helpful and kind. I lived in France for two years. As a nineteen year old American with no experience in the language I received much help "getting by" until I learned to speak. It is true that they may not love American politics, but they are warm to American people.

Parisians...are Rude afterall.
City rating:
Went there in August with an open mind, left convinced that the French are just asses. The problem may be the city itself: it is so gorgeous that the French merely don't need or care, for every bad consumer/tourist experience, there are thousands waiting. Didn't even matter if you were fluent in French (as we were) or as un-American as you could attempt to be. The cafe food was attrocious - possibly the worst I have ever had - with one cook darting between three kitchens to dole out Redi-Whip deserts and naga-hyde rooster meat to tourist cafe after tourist cafe. Terrible surly service. And good luck trying to find a bathroom! Double trouble if your need is more severe. Tourist trap in every sense (Central Paris). Ettiquette and manners which would have them canned in this country. Surly, xeonophobic and cold. We'll see as the Euro plunges if they can sustain turning away who they choose even at empty restuarants. What a shame, and a disappointment. London is far more livlier and "real"!
