Dear sajha basi folks,

I am planning to travel to Seattle area around mid January. Can you guys suggest me what are the things that I need to do while I am there? Points of ineterests around that area. I will be flying from NY to seattle and rent a car at the airport. The plan is to just visit places, take some pictures, hang out, etc. During the roadtrip, we'll be staying at motels which seems reasonable around $60 per night along the way. Can you guys suggest some recommendations or activities over those places?

The trip is for about 3 and a 1/2 days. Will be in Seattle around mid day Thursday and leave on Monday. So far I am planning to visit Space needle and have dinner around the harbor area on Thursday. Wanted to go to Mt Rainier but will probably be cold around mid Jan. So, the plan so far is on: Friday- go to Olympia and visit the city and see whats out there. Then go to Centralia/Chehalis area and stay there. Next day go to Portland and drive back to Seattle. Travel experts, please let me know if there is any activity that I can accomplish during the trips around the area.

If somebody has some suggestions please respond.
