marys 2 Posted June 23, 2006 Here's a strange request - my boss wants me to find a live play for him and his dgtr to attend between June 25-June 28 (she is pre teen). I've found several local theatres including the Children's theatre (but they are off season)- does anyone have a local paper or know of any plays during that time. Of course I need it today and I"m researching like mad, but they also have 10 other activities I'm looking for plus the hotel, well, you get it...so any help from my fellow bandster pals is MUCH APPRECIATED. THANKS! MARY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stitchy 0 Posted June 23, 2006 Issaquah, WA (about 1/2 hour from Seattle): It looks like Pippin is showing during those dates: http://www.villagetheatre.org/kidstage_productions.html Seattle Center (Pacific Science Center) - where you could spend days: http://www.pacsci.org BTW - The butterfly exhibit is totally awesome. A preteen would love it. Bring a camera for sure. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stitchy 0 Posted June 25, 2006 If they go to Issaquah, tell them to be sure to watch for the correct address. There are two theaters on the same street and not very far from each other. Traffic sucks going across the bridge. I would suggest driving over by 3pm and having dinner in town. There are lots of restaurants. If they get there earlier in the afternoon, they can visit Boehms chocolates which is fun. Be sure to walk around the grounds. There is some really cool stuff. Their website says in Burien, but the shop is on the south side of Gilman in Issaquah: http://www.boehmschocolates.com/ The Issaquah fish hatchery. http://www.issaquahfish.org/ Prowling around Gilman Village is fun if she likes to shop. www.gilmanvillage.com Pioneer square is a great place in Seattle. Lots of little shops and you can take a tour of underground Seattle. It's at Doc Maynard's I think. And of course, Pike Place Market. http://www.pikeplacemarket.org/frameset.asp?flash=true When I took my brother around, we parked the car at a garage in Pioneer square and took the city bus to Pike Place. It's free in the downdown zone. Sure beats finding parking all day. And Fremont (very close to Seattle). Visit the troll and other stuff in Fremont http://www.arfarfarf.com/troll/ Good luck on your search for stuff to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
