Editing Seattle (section)

==Events & Activites==

===Map for CouchSurfers===
This [http://tinyurl.com/55xs6m Google map] was created by Seattle area CouchSurfers for travelers coming through the area.

===Music and Culture===
For non-CS events & activities, including music, theater, and cinema, I check the area's two free weeklies, [http://www.thestranger.com The Stranger] and [http://www.seattleweekly.com Seattle Weekly].

If you'd simply like to listen to some good radio, there's FM 90.3 [http://www.kexp.org KEXP] for music (especially local and/or indie), and FM 94.9 [http://www.kuow.org KUOW] (an NPR affiliate) for news and variety.

===Eating & Drinking===
There are great bars and restaurants in Seattle. Again, the Stranger and Seattle Weekly are good resources.

===Coffee and Beer===
If you are planning on coming here, you are probably already aware that Seattle is a well-known haven for coffee and beer lovers. Starbucks Store #1 is located right in one of the biggest tourist attractions, the Pike Place Market. In addition, the city boasts quite a few “micro-roasters,” such as Caffe Vita, Victrola, Vivace, Caffe D'arte, Umbria, and Stumptown (recently arrived from Portland). 

As far as brewpubs go, Pike Pub & Brewery less than a block from Pike Place Market. Elysian Brewing has three locations:  Capitol Hill, Pioneer Square, and Greenlake. In Ballard you can find Maritime Pacific Brewery and Hale's Ales, and in the University District is Big Time Brewery, all crafters and purveyors of delicious beers. And there are more besides!
