I'm thinking of doing the same thing! About 70% of our guest our from out of town as well and have never been to seattle. I'm thinking of including a welcome note, starbucks coffee sample (or cup), postcard of downtown, program of activities, some munchies (for those who arrive late at night)
I was even thinking of doing something like donuts (top pot) maybe? Or Chocolate covered coffee beans? We might do those for favors instead though. I'm having a hard time thinking of any more Seattle theme things though! I need help too!
We wanted to use Chukar cherries, honey sticks, and local tea from Market Spice. Starbucks would be super cute too.
Oh! There are also two places in Pike's that my husband wanted to include - the nut place (can't remember now if it's almonds? cashews?) and jerky. Yes, jerky. Salmon and beef. My dad would've loved it, but salmon jerky is a bit of an "aquired" taste, IMHO. ;)

What about Theo chocolate bars?

Yes, Theo chocolate bars! You can even put info about their chocolate tour in your list of activities
I spent an entire afternoon filling out the Seattle OOT wiki a few weeks ago...I thought it would never come in handy. Here's what I put:

I think Almond Roca is also a local product.
Great list Angel - what about adding Jones Soda (they're local right?)
Almond Roca...of course! I've been to the outlet in Tacoma and what a deal on some of the odd-shaped ones.
Another good idea is Snoqualmie Falls (Salish Lodge) pancake mix and syrup. They sell them at most grocery stores...and let me tell you IT IS THE BEST PANCAKE MIX EVER! I think they might sell small packs at Salish Lodge (or maybe on their website). We went there on some packaged deal and our gift basket had some small size ones in cute packaging.

Hi ladies,
We'll have a lot of out of town guests - probably at least 60-70%. Do any of you have any good ideas for things to include in welcome bags that are very Seattle-y??
Thanks!
