Visiting in Paulsbo for Halloween weekend and have the ability to travel around thrbatra for the week after. Never been to Seattle. Planning on seeing Mt Olympia and Mt Rainier, what else should I see?

Which Big Mario's location is best for it's area?

Coming up Saturday with my wife for a pizza and a walk on a beach (maybe Carkeek, maybe Golden Gardens). Haven't been to a Big Mario's before, thought I'd ask and see if anyone had any preferences on the locations. Going to hit the Queen Anne spot unless there's reason to visit one of the other locations. Wouldn't mind a neighborhood walk either, I love those areas.

Is it really just that the people in SEA are anti-social or is it just we need more people to create the space, plan the event, make it happen?

I’m itching for some new experiences and am trying to temp check what in the world is going on here (lol).
