It doesn't look like much from the outside... or the inside... but if you need good, cheap traditional Vietnamese fare, this is the spot. Also check out the amazing mural in the parking lot while you're there!

Not much is left of the old Central District, but Fats is trying to hang on to what's left. Living in the iconic prior home of Catfish Corner, Fats offers soul food, chicken & waffles and breakfast all day. If you get a chance, chat with the owner, she's a character. And come hungry! Pro tip: The breakfast sandwich contains pretty much everything else on the menu :-)

Hot and fresh east-coast style bagels and sandwiches. Get here early or you'll be standing in line. This place is basically just a walk-up window, but they do have two tiny tables. Most people get food to go.

The brand new street car stops here. Great way to get over to Pioneer Square and the International District. From our place you can walk down Marion, through Seattle U campus, and this station is right on the other side.

The Puget Sound area moves on Ferries, and they leave from here! For a cheap cruise on Elliott Bay, take the ferry to Bainbridge Island and back - it will run you something like $6 per person for an hour and a half of sailing, and you get an iconic view of Seattle on the way. Take a coat, it gets cold on the water.

A little piece of Seattle maritime history. They do free sailing on vintage wooden sailing boats every Sunday, rain or shine. It's first come first served, so be sure to check out their website for details. Or just come hang out with the salty old sailors (and future salty sailors)

This is what qualifies for a beach scene in Seattle. On a warm weekend day it's pretty crowded, but the views are incredible and there is actually a sand beach to lounge on.
