NEW Sub Seattle Tour Wednesday, February 27 Get a taste of Seattle you won���t find on any tourist map. Sub Seattle Tour is a humorous ride through Seattle with tales of our subculture rule-breakers and troublemakers. This 90-minute offbeat safari is peppered with irreverent humor about the city���s lesser-known history and quirky places. See the house where Kurt Cobain lived (and died); visit Bruce Lee���s grave; learn about jazz, grunge, and where Muzak was born; trace the path of Seattle���s gay pride parade; and discover the connecting routes of Olmsted-designed parks. You���ll see Seattle from the margins of mainstream culture and explore some of its oldest neighborhoods and sites. The 16-person 38 | Washington Athletic Club Magazine | January 2013 Thursday, April 11 Thursday, April 18 You���ve seen it. You���ve wanted to do it. Now, we���re making it easy. The Seattle Great Wheel is the newest landmark on the waterfront skyline. Standing 175 feet tall, it���s the largest observation wheel on the West Coast. Located at the end of Pier 57, the iconic Great Wheel has 42 fully enclosed and heated pods and extends 40 feet beyond the end of the pier over Elliott Bay. Because it is also just a few steps outside Fisherman���s Restaurant, we have combined both to make a great evening of dinner and a ride on the wheel. Enjoy watching ferries glide across Puget Sound as you dine on a buffet featuring salmon, pulled pork, beef brisket, Caesar salad, apple cobbler and other delicious items. Chicken strips and fries are included for children of all ages, as are non-alcoholic beverages. Full bar service is available on a no-host basis. At sunset, get ready for the wheel and amazing views of Seattle at dusk. Each pod holds up to 6 people, and you can have your own or share with friends. During your 20- to 25-minute ride, enjoy a special LED light show, done just for us. Before or after dinner and the wheel, stroll the mall inside Pier 57 and visit the shops, ride the carousel or play arcade games to complete this great night at the pier. Price includes buffet and ride on the Seattle Great Wheel. 6:15 pm buffet, 7:45 pm ride; $38 adults, $15 ages 12 and under; cancellations due one week in advance FAMILY ACTIVITIES L e t us k n ow !
