Aloha,
I get to visit beautiful Seattle this w/e and was wondering if there are any Porsche tuner shops around that area, that I might be able to check out.

Also, any restaurant recommendations are gladly welcomed (preferably seafood).

Oh, I will be going to watch the Mariners game.
My first baseball game! So I'm pretty excited about that.
And also I was invited to a special luncheon.

Thanks,

James

James,Seattle is a seafood Heaven.My Recomendations are,The Crab Pot (Downtown Seattle location) where they give you Bibs and dump a bucket of a variety of seafoods litteraly on the table.Chandlers (Higher End) Top Notch Food.Cutters Bayhouse(My Favorite) 1/2 off bar menu before the Mariners game,Walking distance from the Seattle Market Place (Where they throw the big fish) there are Literally at least 25 more good seafood places to go within the city .(GOOGLE IT) If you go to the 6speedonline forum and ask this question there are TONS of Seattlelights people that you can hook up with while you are here.There is a big Porsche Group in Seattle and they like to have fun and show you around.You should also go to Pioneer Square and the Jazz Club for Nightime fun. Everything is within taxicab,Bus or Train distance but most people walk .Lots of Musicians on every street corner.PM me and If I can talk the woman into going to Seattle (I live 1 hour away) I will Meet ya at the Mariners game

Oh and we drink lots of local beer here too

808croc, thanks!
I'm really looking forward to the game! I think I have seats between 3rd & home, in the 5th row, so I should see some action! I just hope they win.

Thanks for all the info guys, I'm not sure if I can talk the wife into visiting all those places, plus I've got a few appointments squeezed in at different times of the days. Hopefully I'll get to see some shops.
Mahalo!

What did you want done on/to your car?

I know the local shops quite well -

I just wanted to check out what they had or possibly listen to a muffler system.
thanks,

Thanks to everybody for all the info. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to visit any car shops. I did spot a couple of carrera's, but no caymans.

My wife and I really enjoyed Seattle. We watched the Mariners game from the 2nd row, and believe it or not they actually won! Finally!
Had awesome sushi at Saito's, we went to Cutters and enjoyed the best crab!
I highly recommend visiting Seattle to anyone who loves seafood
