I recently spent a few days in Seattle for the AWP Annual Conference and compiled all of your advice for things to do, see and eat. Of course, you all had great suggestions so I’m going to be leaving this list up as a short list for my next trip – or yours! (Also, don’t forget to scroll to the bottom for a Twitter list with the latest food news from Seattle.)

I’ll continue to add your recommendations to these lists as I can – feel free to leave a comment here or drop me a line at malia@shoyusugar.com if you see something I’m missing.
