Drinks & Nightlife
Trinity
107 Occidental Ave SFor night clubs it's probably one of the better ones.
This night club is more trendy (think vegas style). I want to say that they have a dress code. It is basically the best night club in Seattle, but its only drawback is that it is far away. Nightlife, such as nightclubs, are best on Friday and Saturday nights here in Seattle.

This is a great bar to chill before the night starts and also turns into almost a night club on Friday and Saturday nights. They have some pretty good Mexican food here (not the best, but better than most).

This is Starbuck's flagship coffee shop. The ambiance is quite impressive. Better than any other coffee shop I have ever been in, but the care for excellence doesn't stop there. They also cook reserve coffee beans here and ship it to all the other Starbucks. They have lots of really good pastries and coffee that rivals what you might get in Europe as they serve coffees from around the world at this location and they change them out each month.

If you are up late and are looking for something to eat after 12 am, you will find that most places in Seattle are closed. This restaurant is open 24/7. It serves breakfast food and their omelets are the best. They serve generous portions with a 6 and 12 egg omelet that come with endless hash browns. If I recall correctly, there is a challenge that if you finish the 12 egg omelet in 24 hrs, your meal is free.

During the summer, this is one of the two beaches to go to in Seattle. On a good day, you can see mountains. As the sun sets, it creates such a beautiful scene. There is always games of volleyball going on, fires in fire pits, and barbequing going on. There are also kayaks and paddle boards up for rent as well (please note that the water is cold all year round in the Puget Sound). On the other side of the main beach road there are tons of restaurants and bars.

This is a Lighthouse on the water with a small beach (if you can call it that). It can be quite beautiful here. It is not uncommon to see a bride taking her wedding photos here. There is a small parking lot which you can park in, which is usually quite crowded. To get there, there is a pathway that is marked as being off limits without a permit. You have to drive down that road. Also, a tip, try stopping in the small building at the entrance to the park (off to the left) to pickup a parking permit. They could also give you some good directions, though I think they close somewhat early. Even if they are closed, you can still go into the park to see the lighthouse.

This is one of Seattle's larger parks. Around the reservoir, you can see the Space Needle from the park. At the opposite end, there is a greenhouse full of flowers. I haven't personally been in the greenhouse, as it has always closed before I arrived.
In the summer this park is home to some big events.
