Any Seattle Opera goers?

Time sure have changed... not sure if its good thing or a bad thing.

Wagner oui... Are you seeing all of them or just one or two in the series?

We attend the Seattle opera 3-5 times a year. If you like to dress up, you can have a blast doing it.
We go in our bike duds



I've seen teenagers in pajamas and ladies in sequins. Wear what you like

Thanks for the tips! I'll probably dress up for opening night, then relax a little for the others.

Mimi, I don't think I've ever seen anyone in dress-up bike duds anywhere--that is so cool!

Smilingcat--yes I'm going to all four, plus some lectures here and there. I'm a total Wagnerite. He was one strange dude, but I love the music. I've been planning this trip for two years.

Shootingstar, we're going to Vancouver several days before--I'm really looking forward to that.

Also, to you all in Seattle, I'm hoping to get a little riding in while I'm there. Any favorite bike shops where I can rent a bicycle? Any favorite rides for an out-of-towner? We're staying in Belltown, and we'll have a car.

Thanks again for all your help.

from Belltown, it's less than 1/2 mile to get to Myrtle Edwards Park and ride the trail that will take you to ballard and fremont and the Burke Gilman trail.
(leave the car behind!)
There's a bike shop (Elliott Bay Bikes) right near the Pike Place Market, but I don't know where you can rent a bike. The last out of towners I know of that rented, rented bikes from Montlake Bicycles, which is unfortunately in Kirkland.
Oh, here's a list;

REI is close, and so is Play it Again Sports and Recycled Cycles.
