Congrats to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who took home four Grammys last night, the most-ever by a Seattle musical act. If it wasn't already clear these guys were a big deal, it is now.

You can bet a lot of folks are going to be visiting our fair city for a chance to see the notable locations from their music videos first-hand. So, we've made it easy for our those would-be tourists (Mackletourists?) and mapped out all the major locations from Thrift Shop, Can't Hold Us and White Walls (we'll cover deeper cuts another day). Bring some good walking shoes. The entire trek runs from Georgetown to Fremont and spans roughly ten city miles along the way.

"One of Seattle's most uniquely loved drinkeries" made for a unique setting in the 'Thrift Shop' video, most notably in the scene where Mack waxes philosophically about R. Kelly's sheets.
