Not a single shop worth spending you dime on in WA. (For Honda's that is.)

Do the touristy things. Pike Place market, space needle, Uwajimaja (Japanese grocery & mag/book store), Mt. Rainier, Snoqualmie pass, Deception pass, drive down to Oregon coast, take a ferry to Victoria Island from Seattle, check out Columbia river, etc.

It just depends on what you want to do. But, there seriously isn't a shop worth visiting for your Honda. AJ-R is the only one that I would spend my $ (they are in B.C.).

If I were you, take Friday and drive up to B.C. Go to downtown, shop, eat, chill. Then, come back down at night and go to clubs in Seattle.

Thanks that's pretty much what I wanted to know

I've been over here before for a few months so have done the tourist stuff to death.

Was downtown from saturday till today. It's odd being over here as there are some many Integra's. In the UK the only DC-2 you could get was the R so you dont see many at all.

I think I'll have friday free and I may goto Snoqualmie Falls and get some dam fine cherry pie

Seattle has a lot of great ethnic foods. You name it, i can probably tell you where to go. When I'm in Seattle, I just veggie out and eat all the time. lol.

My fav's = Siam (Thai), IloveSushi, Metropolitan Grill, Salty's. (plus tons more... yum, I'm hungry now. lol)

It's a great area, but ya, shops are a bit on the shitty side for Hondas here. There's a COUPLE out there, but I forget the names. Lots of rice shops otherwise. A&J is OK to visit, but rather boring if you ask me. Unless you have something you'd like to buy from them..

Do the tourist stuff though. Ferry rides, Pike place market (already mentioned), food!! and lots of it!!, clubs if you like that, some big malls to visit, space needle, hendrix music experience (by space needle), etc. Just go to Seattle and look around, there's always places to go and things to see.

Me personally I'd get a motel room on a high floor in Seattle, and some friends and party till 4am.
