It would take more than Seattle's notoriously rainy weather to dampen our ardour for this fine city. In this guide we explore coffee shops, bars, sushi, a joint to pick up a burger for $1.25 and a 19th-century novelty shop. There's also sculpture, video games and, of course, in one of America's most literate cities there are bookshops. In all, 42 great things to see and do, no matter the weather.
