So on a whim I decided to attend this years con and I'm arriving a few days early because I want to check out the Seattle area. Oh and I'm coming out solo as well, will try to meet up with a few friends I know in the area.
I assume I will need to rent a car to get to the city or any other sight seeing type places.
I'm looking for advice on what to expect from the Con and how it works etc. When I went to BGG Con last year for the first time I missed a lot of things simply because I was not aware of them.
I'm also looking for advice on the area, what to see etc.
Thanks in advance for any input.

That's funny. Your situation and plan sound almost exactly like mine. :)
I have some time off around PaizoCon this year, and thought I might check it out. Some of the local PFS players from my local area will be out there too.
I'd love to know if there are any "must try" elements to the con.
Last year was my first year and I was just like the both of you.
I assume that they do this every year and probably at other conventions as well - all the open games that you play at you get a token. You can keep the token as souvenir. Even better, for each two tokens you turn back in you get an opportunity to roll this fist size official purple Paizo d20 for a special boon sheet. The higher the roll the better the boon sheet.
As far as the "must try" - I'm not recalling exactly what the official name of it was but during certain hours they have this table setup just outside the merchant store with a 3D dungeon level where you and three other people get to (attempt to) survive 20 minutes with iconics. I think if you do survive the time limit you also get a special boon sheet that you can apply to any character (IDK - I didn't). IMO what makes it a "must try" isn't the boon sheet (if that is what the reward is) or even the challenge. Having the opportunity to see the 3D dungeon and all the previous players - ahemm - final resting places. Hilarious.
