I am curious to know what else Seattle is known for because there is a convention happening there in October of 2010 and I would like to find like tokens for memoriabilia. Thank you in advance.What is Seattle known for besides the Seahawks and the Sky needle?
Certainly, the Space Needle is the symbol most readily identified with Seattle. You can eat lunch in their rotating restaurant for great views of the whole area. In addition to being known for more espresso stands than you can imagine (thanks to Starbuck's), In addition to what others have said, Seattle is home to Weyerhauser and Boeing. There is the Boeing Museum of Flight that is worth a visit. You can also check out the EMP - Experience Music Project, put together by Microsoft co-founder, Paul Allen. It's quite close to the Needle at the Seattle Center.
Seattle is also known for the beautiful scenery in the surrounding area (Space Needle is a good place to get a sense of that).

Pike Place Market, where they throw fresh fish around the open marketplace.
The original (as in very first) Starbucks.
Um, on a more morbid note, Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee %26amp; Jimi Hendrix are all buried there.
Seattles aquarium? How about the "Ride the Ducks Tour"?
