Seattle: The Emerald City by Chris Linch

Seattle is arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and certainly the most friendly and interesting in the Northwest. Despite its rainy reputation, the summer and early fall months are a great time to visit. The weather tends to be dry, with low humidity, and cool compared to most of the country. This is an outdoor city, so bring your walking shoes to make the most of your visit. And it's hilly, so be prepared!

While you are there, you have to visit the Pike Place Fish Market. The market is worth a visit just for the fabulous produce and flowers. Everything seems to grow bigger and better in the Northwest. But the big draw is a booth that sells fish that has become very famous due to some motivational speakers recently. The employees of this booth are very witty, love their jobs and fling fish at each other and customers. A crowd gathers everyday to see the show and enjoy the repartee. Grab some coffee and a hot doughnut from one of the stalls and have a ball.

Right across the street is the first Starbuck's Coffee, which is worth visiting for the delicious aroma alone. The coffee scent has permeated the creaking old floors and wooden counters and the cozy ambiance is everything a coffee house should be. There is quite literally a coffee house on every corner in Seattle, and still this one is special.

The most easily identifiable landmark in Seattle is the Space Needle. Built for the 1962 Worlds Fair, the Needle is 605 feet high and provides 360 degree views of the city and Elliott Bay. When the weather is fine, you may be treated to a stunning view of Mount Ranier, a still-active volcano that can seem to float over the city like Atlantis.

Right below the Needle is the Seattle Music Experience, housed in a Gehry - designed guitar shaped building. The Music Experience Project Museum offers music memorabilia (especially that of Jimi Hendrix), music labs, and hands on interactive exhibits. Great for teens and budding rock stars.

The original city of Seattle was built of wood and often flooded. When the Great Fire of 1889 destroyed 33 city blocks, the city decided to rebuild in brick two stories above the original street level. The seedier elements of the city took to the Seattle Underground. An underground city of bars, brothels and storefronts can be toured several times a day from its starting point under Pioneer Square.

There are two great tour operators in town.

1) Tour Seattle at your own pace with a hop-on, hop-off Double Decker buses. Get on and off at seven different stops around the city and explore at your leisure.

2) A stranger option is Duck Tours of Seattle. A 'duck" is an amphibious craft that the company uses to take guests through downtown and then onto nearby Union Lake. Union Lake is where the house from "Sleepless in Seattle" is located, as well as some of the ships from "Deadliest Catch". The tour operators are crazy, and if your dignity is important, this is not the tour for you. If you are looking for a fun, 90 minute tour, see www.ridetheducksof seattle.com. Prices are about 25.00 adult and 15.00 child. Open daily.

2) A fun and interactive way of seeing the city is aboard a "Duck". This is an amphibious landing craft developed during WWII. The tour explores both downtown Seattle and a nearby lake familiar to "Sleepless in Seattle" fans.

A great place to stay is the Italian Renaissance grand hotel called the Fairmont Olympic. Built in 1924, this beautiful hotel is the only five diamond hotel in the area. It plays host to literally every social event in Seattle, including most weddings. The opulent lobby, with its marble columns and huge crystal chandeliers is the best place in Seattle to celebrity watch. While I was there a certain Lama visited a certain rock star in his suite. The rooms are very tasteful and elegant, but not large. You may want to treat yourself to a suite. The hotel offers a spa, several incredible restaurants (the chef is fantastic) and impeccable service. The location couldn't be better. You can walk to all major attractions and shopping, or arrange to use the hotels town car.

Seattle is filled with art and artists. Look for the troll under the bridge. If you can't find it, one of the warm and friendly Seattleites will be happy to show you where it is.

GOOD MORNING TORONTO - Bay Street (Canada's Wall Street)

Make A Difference With These Great Home Improvement Tips!

Improving a home is an art that consists of far more than simply replacing hardware or covering walls with new wallpaper. You should carefully plan and research a project before you start, to make sure that you get the desired result. With these tips, you will be able to hone your skills in home improvement. It can save you a ton of cash and help you realize your vision of an ideal home.

Balance your fan! Improve the quality of sound inside your home! A few quick balance adjustments can often cure a ceiling fan that is oscillating or making noise. Sometimes, adjusting the blade holders can quiet down any wobbly ceiling fan. When tightening the screws, it is a good idea to clean the fan blades in order to remove any dust that could unbalance your fan.

Take some safety steps before you go into a home improvement project. You need these precautions so that you or your home are not injured. Read the instructions that come with your tools and look up tutorials if you need to.

Sort your tools into various toolboxes arranged by projects. For example, you might put all of your plumbing tools and supplies in one cabinet or toolbox. An electrical toolbox could contain a variety of fuses, switches and a voltmeter. This will make it easy to find the tools you need for your project.

One improvement that can make your life easier is replacing ordinary paneling in areas with many pipes with waterproof paneling. This type of wall board is generally called "green board" by insiders. It also tolerates moisture better than ordinary wall board, and can also retard mold growth.

When renovating a house for resale, remember that it is more important to attend to the outside look of the home first, before you attend to items such as plumbing or installing central heating. A dilapidated exterior will be an instant turn-off for prospective buyers, making good offers turn up less frequently, but interior issues will have a much smaller effect.

{If you want to spruce up your home in a jiffy, replace the paneling on your walls. Putting in new panels will give your home a new feel for a low cost. If you do change your mind and do not like what you have done, they are very easy to remove without causing a lot of damage to your walls.

}By having proper preparation and following these tips, you can be better prepared to tackle any type of home improvement projects and eliminate any unwanted expenses. Now that you have the knowledge you need you can get going on your own project.
