To help newly arrived CLMA students find their way around, we thought we'd start a site where people can post links to their favorite restaurants, shops, and sites in Seattle. Please contribute to this page as you find favorites, even if you are new to Seattle!

• Coffee: Trabant in the U District

Where to shop

Where to bring out-of-town guests

• Chocolate factory: Theo Chocolate Amazing chocolate, factory tours (call in advance to reserve). Here's a walking tour that includes Theo Chocolates and lots of other fun things from Fremont. Fremont is an easy bus ride from UW (bus #30 or 31).
• Agua Verde Cafe and Paddle Club: Agua Verde. Take your guests kayaking in Lake Union or Portage Bay, then come back for fish tacos and margaritas.
