What places would you recommend visiting in Seattle?

Fremont. Just north of downtown Seattle is the neighborhood of Fremont. It's still part of Seattle but is very quaint. There is an amazing chocolate shop called Theos that had delicious samples of the chocolate. Also, you'll have to go find the troll that lives under the bridge. Just ask around, everybody will know what you mean and can point you in the right direction.
