SEATTLE ON SKATES

Seattle’s got Starbucks, the Space Needle, and Bill Gates. And free inline skates — for guests of the Alexis Hotel. Reserve a room and the Alexis will loan you skates and safety equipment gratis. It’s a great way to take a rolling tour of town (Bill sightings not guaranteed). Rooms from $240. (800) 264-8482, www.alexishotel.com
