New to Seattle.. things to do?

[Hockeygirl063]

You all have hit on some great places. Seattle is a great city and I miss living there. Down in PDX now.

In the summer you can take in a ball game at Safeco. Not sure how tickets are for the Sea Hawks. when I lived there 88-91 it was very difficult to find any tickets. Seattle has a junior hockey team. That's always fun. I go to games down here usually when they play Seattle because it is a huge rivalry.

Seattle Center is home to the Space needle the monorail and the Music Experience place. I have not been in it but heard a lot of good things about it.

Ride the ferry. It's fun and you get a nice view of the city from the water.

I love Green Lake area, it's so pretty. The zoo is another place you can visit and the aquarium. I have not been to either in many years so not sure how they are anymore.

Enjoy the Emerald City.

I'm wondering now that i'm here where are good places to go? Things to do? I'm finding Seattle incredibly overwhelming both in navigating the city and getting a sense of direction, and it's large... so no clue where I should be going to be doing things.

I live up in the Maple Leaf area- so I've found Greenlake.. which is nice, and walked around there.

I like just about everything, and enjoy the outdoors.

Can anyone give me pointers for a). things to do b). churches aimed at my age group c). good ways to meet people d). parks and recreation e). where to look for museums and theater productions, etc.

I'm 25 single female.

Any information to help decrease the overwhelmingness and fear of the city would be great.

Thanks
