  • Seattle question.

    From Utopian Galt@21:4/108 to All on Wed Jun 3 20:33:22 2026
    I am wondering how is the area near climate pledge arena, is it generally ok for tourists? My hotel is only 0.8 miles away.

    Just wear closed-toe shoes so you don't get punctured by the discarded
    heroin syringes laying all over, and watch out for piles of human poop
    on the sidewalks. Definitely don't wander into one of the "tent
    cities", as that could get ugly. Also bring a bottle of hand sanitizer liquid, and a set of brass knuckles isn't a bad idea.

    As you often do, you're replying to me, but you snipped out *ALL* of
    what I said, leaving no context.

    Not sure what your reddit extract is supposed to show... basically it
    says "you should be safe, as long as you're with somebody else".

    Is that good enough? Would you walk there with your wife, or your
    daughter?

    Have you been to downtown Seattle recently? I have, and my comments
    (that you conveniently snipped out) are spot on accurate.

    Maybe you and your family should pay a visit and walk around there at
    night.

    I was there a few years ago for a concert and felt perfectly safe. We
    walked quite a lot back to our hotel, a couple of miles and stopped on
    a few bars along the way. Had no trouble.

    A lot of people say to avoid 3rd Ave, especially between Pike and Pine,
    and use 1st or 4th instead. 2nd has bars and restaurants if you want to
    stop.

    Yes, been there. Done that.

    After a concert we walked 2.5-3 miles back to the hotel from Climate
    Pledge Arena. Nobody bothered us. It was a nice night.

    I am planning to see the band Rush in October there.
    Although Seattle is known to be colorful and crazy like Portland, I hope it ends up better than Los Angeles.

    Enjoy. There's plenty to do there. The Space Needle, obviously, and there's a Museaum of Pop Culture that's worth a visit, and the Chihuly Garden and Glass which is quite impressive.

    Los Angeles was OK but tons of graffiti which makes the place look a bit of an eyesore, and you see tents everywhere coming out of the airport, a reminder that some are not as fortunate.
