I thought I would see at least one plaid shirt in Seattle, even more than a decade after the death of grunge.  There were moments where I felt a touch of that old scene, but for the most part Seattle is a nice, comfortable city with either a Starbucks or the homeless sitting on every corner.  I still had my dose of music history though, and was amazed at the stream of people flocking to the memorials of both Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix on a weekday afternoon.  The other highlight for me was the Experience Music Project museum and I could have easily spent an entire day there engrossed in the horror, sci fi, Nirvana and guitar exhibits.
