If you're ever want to follow some Beatles' over-night stays, you should consider this suite at the Edgewater Hotel in Seattle. The same suite the Fabs used during their '64 tour. I think I've posted this pic before of the room. The hotel has made it, more or less, a shrine.

And the photo of them fishing from this same room at the Edgewater

The Edgewater is also known for the Mothers of Invention tune, Mud Shark, which was written about the motel, and folks, like the Fabs fishing from their room.

This is way cool, Stan. I forwarded it to a friend who is not only a Beatles fan, but a Zappa friend as well.

One thing, I seem to remember reading about this Beatles stay in this hotel in the "Ticket to Ride" book, which chronicles their '66 tour. Or did they stay there twice?

Also, where did they play in Seattle?

They played the Seattle Center Coliseum in 1964 and 1966. I believe they stayed there both times.

I believe it was just '64 and '66, Glenn.
