basically i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on fun things to do and see in these places, especially locations of good shops to buy new and/or used vinyl and venues to go see good music.
i reliase this is a bit cheeky and i should probably do some research myself, but i have little to no internet search talent.

seattle there is plenty to do in beltown which is up 2nd. there is one bar there called shorty's which i recommend a lot. they have shit loads of pinball machines in the back if your into that kinda thing, they also have a really good apricot beer which is worth a snifta.
capitol hill has plenty of things too. if you go up pine there are three record stores on the way up and a really good one on at the very top, also nice cafes etc. then a few blocks from there on pike there is the comet and also bimbo's cantina the basement of which is very cool indeed.
i presune you are staying at the green tortoise? if so there is soma just a few blocks down which is also nice.
you could also go north to vancouver, bc if you feel like it. thats where i live currently and thats a nice place.
portland is worth a look on the way to san francisco for sure. there is not a huge amount to do there but its a nice city and the hostels there are pretty good.
