See how he is talking about "the weekend"?? Try to do that inthe perimeters of downtown and on a non weekend night.
Muckleshoot couldnt be more ghetto excepting Sat pm.
I'll be staying downtown near the Convention Center. Any decent bars, nightclubs, etc
I'm a 42 year old African-American from the East Coast...if that helps any...
Seattle HAS ALMOST ZERO NIGHTLIFE! Especially since you are coming between football and baseball seasons. The 'nightclubs are all on 1st or up on Capitol Hill (just N of the convention center). That said, however, it is almost impossible to find critical mass anywhere downtown other than Fri- Sat evenings. Pesos is a small bar in Queen Anne (downtown Seattle off Mercer), that often has about 50-75 people most evenings. Capitol Hill also has a few places that may attract a few people here and there. On Tuesdays, Havana's in Capitol Hill has quite a lot of people.
Again, Seattle has the least amount of general 'nightlife" of any city I have ever lived in by several orders of magnitude. I am sure you will find most places (excepting Havanas, and smaller bars), either shut down or deserted by 10 pm every evening but Fri-Sat.

EDM I suggest http://www.foundation-nightclub.com/
Jazz I suggest http://www.jazzalley.com/www-home/ (highly recommend)
R&B I suggest Emerald City Soul Club http://www.yelp.com/biz/emerald-city-soul-club-seattle?utm_campaign=www_business_share_popup&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=(direct)
Rock & Roll, head south to Tacoma and check out "The Swiss" or over in Freemont, "The High Dive"
We have a lot of Casinos here in the PacNW, most of them have clubs with weekend entertainment, one of the best is "Club Galaxy" in Auburn, south of Seattle off of Highway 18, Muckelshoot Casino. I think you'll really enjoy this place, large professional stage, both DJ's and bands, depending on the night. Think "Earth, Wind & Fire" great cover bands here.
There are a lot of hole in the wall places as well in Pioneer Square, Belltown, and if your hip to the LGBT scene, head to Capitol Hill, couple of great dance clubs there as well. Now if you want trendy, head over I-90 to the Eastside to Bellevue.
The PacNW nightlife is FAR from dead, but of course it's not Miami, LA or NYC, have a great time while you're here!
radarvectors (DJ with over 30 yrs exp)....OH yeah, there are Salsa clubs as well, just do your homework.
