Seattle area - good roads and what to see

[magpies]

Hi

I'm staying just outside Seattle for 5 days in early October and l.ooking to take in some sights with my wife in our hire car - we are there as part of a retirement holiday.

The area obviously has many attaractions which we simply won't have the time to check out' so I'm asking what would you consider to be the best to look at?

were you a fan of Twin Peaks ?

not far and worth a visit even if its just for coffee and damn fine apple pie. Mar-T-Cafe is still there.

Seattle is gorgeous - pike market and the needle.

Exotics at Redmond is a must see, along with Griots Garage coffee and gasoline in Tacoma. You need to drive in the Olympic Peninsula, amazing.
