Spring is almost here, and your desire to spread out on a blanket in the grass has never been stronger. Take a sandwich and your laptop to the heart of the Seattle Center campus.

Feel like you're in a hotel lobby actually in Monaco as you splay out on the long sofa in front of the fireplace.

Pretend like your car is getting serviced, or maybe you're just waiting on a friend who's buying a new 7 Series. Enjoy the smell of tires and success until a man in a white shirt and blue tie asks you to leave.

You were going somewhere, but forgot where it was. Oh well, time to people-watch and gaze at planes as you surf the net until sunset, or sunrise. Or Thursday.

You can sit in Vios Café (a Greek restaurant, not a coffee shop), The Pub after 3pm, or plop down between bookcases. Maybe you'll even be tempted to put down your MacBook and read an actual one.

The terrace is a great spot to people watch, fiddle with your computer, and sunbathe as you eat a bag of salty, greasy health chips.

Which comfy chair do you choose in The Living Room composed of pink and steel? You don't have to decide! Spend a few hours trying them all.

There are no fancy coffee machines or chic hotel sofas, just hard chairs and nice people with warm smiles.
