A huge basketball fan myself, would love to once go and visit the Sonics play at their home town Seattle. I have this Seattle travel guide on my desk since a few months and have gone through it once. Very tempted to visit the place.
Seattle is a nice modern city bustling with attractions and nice people. The Seattle asian art museum, the national art museum and and Frye museum are all very good to see.
In the southern Rainier Beach district i m eagerly waiting to go there and enjoy the waterfalls, ponds and streams of the 20-acre Kubota Garden. It is known as the coffee city, as it is the birth place of the most popular coffee house in the world - Starbucks.
