In this month’s issue, GQ encourages a spontaneous trip to Seattle even though (or perhaps because) all of the hipsters have moved to Portland. Along the way, they point wouldbe visitors to a decent list of deserving local favorites like the Crocodile, the Zig Zag, McLeod Residence, Two Bells, Elliott Bay Book Company, and Blackbird.

Keep an eye on Bumbershoot or the 18 November faceoff between the Seahawks and the Bears to see if an unusual number of GQ readers seem to be in town on the magazine’s advice.
