What to do in Portland/Seattle?

I'm taking a trip up to Portland and Seattle this weekend, and I want some cool stuff to do. Are there any car museums, or anything like that around?
We're taking the trip to look ata few S2000's for my buddy. We have three days, and we need things to do!

Which S2000's? I've looked at a bunch between Portland and Seattle. I'm trying to find an AP2 with Grand Prix White with red/black interior. I'm quite picky though..

On your way up to Portland you can stop by in McMinnville and check out the Evergreen Air and Space museum.

http://www.evergreenmuseum.org/

They have an SR-71, several spacecraft and the Spruce Goose among dozens of other planes.

Road trip for a S2000? You are going the wrong direction. I recommend that you drive another 100 miles and head south to San Fransisco. If you are really adventurous, continue on to San Luis Obispo (SLO), where the sun will be out all weekend, the women are really beautiful, and the pace is playfully slow.

If you're bored, definitely go to Pike Place Market or the whole Seattle water front area. And if you're super bored, take a ferry somewhere. It's pretty cool.

And if you feel like shopping, you can go to Southcenter mall down in Tacoma. It's HUGE, but don't wear any gang-affiliated clothes or you'll probably be shot (there's a lot of ghettoish people there).

There's an air museum just outside of Portland that's pretty cool. Mcminville I believe.

Too bad you will not make it up for my America's got talent audition tomorrow(March 2-3). I'll be at the Paramount Theater where I'm sure to get on the show with my amazing skills. Come watch me shave my wife's legs while I balance an avocado on my knee with the help of my lovely assistant Jedidiah.

911 Pine Street
Seattle, Wash.

LOL Marco.

May I ask how old you are bud760? If you're into the night life scenery, go hang around Belltown; lots to do! If you're here for daytime fun, check out Pike Place Market, the Seattle Aquarium...Alaskan Way. Bellevue's fun too, but mainly for dinner. Just a few suggestions. Have fun! You could also take your girlfriend up the Space Needle? The view's great, albeit a little expensive.

Alki's a pretty view as well across the West Seattle Bridge...

Can't seem to think of anything else at the moment...
