Mark Aldrich Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Chuck, There is one farther up near Lynnwood (Galaxy Hobby) http://www.galaxyhobby.com/ but Emil's rocks because he buys collections and though he may be pricey, I love walking around because sometimes you can find that old plastic there.

cbush Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Skyway sounds like my kind of place. There's nothing like a plastic fix to pick up your trip. I'll be staying in the Hilton downtown, will the taxi ride take a lot of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Aldrich Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) Wow.....heart of downdown!!!!! 20 minutes probably, depending on the time of day. You may want to tell the driver a pickup time. Not a lot of taxi's cruising skyway that I remember. Also, make sure you have the address. I am sure it is not big on a LOTS OF TRAFFIC list. Depending on how long you are here....make sure you check out Pike's market. Home of Strabucks, Piroshky Pisoshky, and Beechers Cheese!!!!

cbush Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I've got the address and phone number on my tablet. 20 minutes isn't too bad. I live 30 min from my local hobby shop. I've been to Pikes Market and will be going again this time. My brother and I go to Seattle every 2 years or so, just for a bonding vacation. We'll probably do the underground tour this year.

Mark Aldrich Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Cool! Always a fun trip. Mrs. TreadHead and I try to make a trip up there every couple months for a weekend stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
