It isn't a serious headline either, but it is a funny headline.  Jon 
Stewart tried to come up with something on short notice but he couldn't 
quite figure out how to use "Spitzer Swallows".

I say walk down Union Street toward Puget Sound.  Before you hit the water 
you should see Fisherman's Warf, a bunch of seafood places, the Aquarium 
and other interesting stuff.  We hit the aquarium in 2003:

Another option is to walk along 6th Ave to the Space Needle (about 1 mile) 
and that puts you at "Experience Music" and the Hendrix museum.  Some of 
that might be good.  The Geary buildings there are interesting, not 
necessarily in a good way (I thought got a little weird with the colors). 
I love his design of our art museum though:
