Yes, I met up with Mellissa yesterday! We hung out at Uwajamiya in downtown Seattle and basically geeked out in the manga/anime section of the bookstore for much of the time. Uwajamiya is Seattle's international Asian market and it's HUGE! It's a grocery store with a two story bookstore, gift shop, and food court. We hung out there for a few hours then hustled down to Bellevue/Redmond and killed time at Crossroads mall which is more kind of like an indoor/outdoor strip mall where I go to all the time. We geeked out some more at the comic shop and used book store.
It was a lot of fun and so wish more of you lived in the area!
