Re: places in Seattle and Portland
If you do the Voo Doo donuts don't go to the one downtown. THere's another location that is less busy. Mother's Bistro is good eats, Pine State biscuits, and Screendoor restaurant! If you want to do shopping go to Tigard mall and Woodburn oulets!
Seattle is great too, but the family usually stay in Lynnwood and go to Alderwood mall. THere's a NOrdstrom and Nordstrom Rack close to each other. We eat a ton at Black Angus (prime rib). If you go down to the Public Market in Seattle, be really patient!!!! Parking is a premium and its SUPER busy! If you want a good quantity of seafood try The Crab Pot!
CHeers!
