Sleepless In Seattle

We stayed at the Edgewater Hotel http://www.edgewaterhotel.com/.  The Beatles made the hotel famous by fishing outside the window in room 272 and Led Zeppelin & crew made it infamous with the mudshark incident.

Experience the Music Project http://www.empsfm.org/ has the largest guitar collection in the world and history on Seattle music.  When we went they had an amazing Jimi Hendrix exhibit.  It is right beside the Space Needle.

We went to the Showbox at the Market to see an amazing Led Zeppelin tribute band: http://www.showboxonline.com/
