Default OT - Organizing little bro's stag in Seattle - ideas please! (slight WW)

Mid 30's and getting married in a couple of months! He wants to head over to Seattle for the weekend.

Can you guys give me some general ideas for the stag and any Seattle specific ones even you might have? We'll be going in June probably sometime so weather should be nice hopefully.

I've got paintball, go karting, hitting the casino, fishing and golf on the possible list of things for now.

Thanks!

PS Rule: No animals may be used!

PPS We're going to get her to be his golfing buddy! ;-)

White water rafting.

Shooting range.

As far as establishments go maybe Rick's or Deja Vu but they pale in comparison to Vancouver (BC) clubs.

Thanks! I love those two ideas, would've never thought about them, especially the shooting range, seeing how we're not into guns much up here!

So you can just go without a license to a range, rent a gun/rifle, and start shooting?

Do you know of any places by name I could call/look into?

Nice! Never would have thought of those! Don't know how many in the party would have the ***** to try parachuting!

Any indoor go karting places (safer weather wise)? Or outdoor ones?

Default Google is your friend! :) --> K1 in Redmond or Sykart in Tukwilla

K1 used to be "Champs." I'm guessing there was a change of ownership. I went there many years ago when it was Champs and had fun. The karts were electric and not real fast. I visited the K1 in Carlsbad (again several years ago) and the karts were faster. Could be K1 upgraded the motors for this location too.

There is also Sykart. Most folks seem to prefer Sykart AFAICT. They have gas powered karts. Never been there.

Default Tandem parachuting is no big deal.

Having said that, I've not done it, but my wife LOVED it and she almost had a stroke when she bungy jumped in New Zealand.

Tandem parachuting is TAME by comparison. If you can afford it, do it.

There's a gun range in Bellevue but I think at least one of you has to be a U.S. citizen to rent a gun (unless you bring your own guns I guess). I'm not sure, I just showed up with some friends and started poppin' caps.
