The waterpark in Denver didn't do anything about me being in cargo pants and a long sleeve shirt all day. Their only rules seem to be related to the tube rides (no shoes, and sunglasses must have a strap) and the slides (no zippers, and anyway pants and shirts make the ride too slow, I've found).

But is Seattle warm/dry enough on average to have a waterpark? Sorry for the ignorant question, I've never been there....

Steve is right. I have been to Seattle a couple of times too...and there is nothing to see (but some great restaurants for good eating though). There is no such thing as a West Coast version of Trafalgar Square...there is not even an east coast or midwest or south east version either. The only fountains in the USA where you do see some activity are the Washington Square fountains in New York City, and sometimes at the Centennial Park fountains in Atlanta. There is nothing in North America that compares to the fountains in London & Paris.

About the only thing you can do is to visit some of the Theme parks (not the waterparks...cos those are swimsuits only) cos many of the major theme parks in California, Florida, Texas, Ohio etc have various fountains that folks can cool off in. My advice is...look for the nearest theme park to where you will be going...and forget about the beach...the water temperature is mostly below 50 degrees up there.

NEED INFO- Seattle International Fountain

I come from a wetlook dead area. Temperatures can be over 90 degrees and the general consensus is that" oh i don't have a bathing suit, i will not go swimming " They would rather cook in the heat , than cool down. Completely the opposite of Europe here. People here need to be a little more laid back and less uptight.

Anyways the temperature is supposed to hit over 90 degrees this weekend, and i am planning to take a trip to Seattle to check out this fountain.

Is it worth it? Is this going to be the Trafalgar Square of the West Coast???? Lets hope so
