re: SeattleSam
These are smart recommendations. One quibble is that I consider Corson Building--or its sister place Sitka and Spruce--more "Seattle" than Lark, which IMO has trended away from a creative seasonal local menu. Note that it's a communal dining experience at Corson, which may or may not be more "quintessential" (or agreeable to you).
Don't think a Tom Douglas dinner makes the cut for 36 hours, but you could hit up Snackbar for lunch. Spinasse > Barolo, but a New Yorker has Italian galore; curious that the NYT recommended that.
There is lot of recent hype and love over Walrus & Carpenter too, and slurping puget sound oysters is essential for your visit, but those may be on offer at one or more places on Sam's list, and certainly makes for a good pre-dinner session whever one can find the bivalves. Inquire locally.

re: equinoise
Actually, I neglected to put Sitka and Spruce on my list, which I heartily recommend -- and it is, indeed, quintessential Seattle. The only reason I wouldn't put Corson on that list is that's it's a little high end to be considered "quintessential." But we're splitting hairs here.

Like the East Coast Grill here, Tom Douglas's spots, especially The Dahlia Lounge are always unforgettable occasions. http://tomdouglas.com/index.php?page=...

The NY Times answers this exact question earlier this week in an article likewise titled "36 hours in Seattle": http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/27/travel/27hours-seattle.html?_r=1
Overall, pretty solid reccomendations with the exception of Barolo - I think you could do better at Spinasse or Volterra for Italian.
Looks like the times likes to hit this topic every two years or so:

We're loving Marjorie on Union St. in Capitol Hill. It's a "can't miss" intimate bistro.
