I'm just going to copy and paste from my reddit post.
So here's the rundown guys and gals. The wife and I are currently visiting family here in Seattle, and the family that we're staying with doesn't have cable or internet. Normally wouldn't be a big deal, gives me a reason to go watch the game at a bar and consume copious amounts of beer, right? Wrong.
Noon EST is 9am on the west coast, which, would be great if I lived here because ..football all day BUT... Most bars aren't open until 10-11 or so.
I've tried google'ing (googling??) places, but I've come up with exactly one place..and it's literally 40 minutes from where I'm staying.
Can any of you west coasters (hopefully seattle residents) help a guy out and give me some info on where I might be able to watch the game this early? Please, and thank you very much!
Maybe some useful info: - we're staying in Renton/the highlands Edit - my weather app says Newport Hills. Seattle is confusing. - game is on ESPNU
Also, I've read that there's a Hokie chapter out here. Is that sort of thing only open to alumni?

The Peoples Pub in Ballard. Tell Drew Hi!
Also try many places in Bellevue, that is just up the road from you. Many bars in multiple malls and eateries there.
Mustard Seed Bar is good, and if I recall it used to open at 9am, in south Bellevue.
Edit: yes, I should have just edited my original post. I blame the extra pie and turkey induced coma. And yes, I used to live in Seattle area.
The mustard seed bar it is. Thank you!
I second the People's Pub. Owner (manager?) is an alumn and there will mostly be a Hokie presence watching.
According to the Seattle Hokies webpage, they're watching the UVA game at Redmonds Bar & Grill in Redmond.
I was going to go to this one, but the Mustard Seed is closer. Thanks for helping out though!
I also know buckley's, located in belltown, is frequented on gamedays by Hokies (including myself) that live in downtown seattle. Glad you found a place though!
