That's why I like kpaske's idea about Jillian's, in Seattle. It's close to the major central I-5 exit to the Seattle Center. There are tons of parking areas outside, right along Lake Union. Good areas for photos!

Plus, the food is decent, and there are billiard tables galore!

Afterwards, photos along South Lake Union, then a short drive to Gasworks Park along North Lake Union.

Or a longer drive to West Seattle, to the Salty's on Alki parking lot...which is where I took those few photos in my vehicross.info Gallery page.
