5 days in Seattle... what to do?

[JeepFreak21]

The wife and I are coming up to Seattle for 5 days to visit family. It'll be our first time, so I'm looking for suggestions on what to do/see

So far, the fish market and the space needle are on the list... what else should we check out?

Thanks!
Billy

If you mountain bike there is a really sweet mountain bike park under an I-5 overpass up there. I haven't been there but from the pics its really cool.

Other than that I'm basically clueless as to whats fun up there (other than what you have already mentioned)

1. Go to Pioneer Square and do the "Underground Tour". Close to Pike Place Market (Fish Market as you called it).
2. The "Locks" are good if you have never seen anything like it.
3. Snoqualmie Falls is a great short hike and great scenery.
4. Boeing Everett Tour if you are into huge buildings and interested.
5. Museum of Flight if you are into aircraft.

What are you primary interests?
Like hiking?
Do you have transportation?

take the ferry over here, and I'll give ya a tour of the navy base... cant get you into the shipyard, but you'd be able to see quite a bit of it from the navy base...

Dang, that sounds right up our alley, but we're flying, so no bikes

Im sure Opie will give me shit for this one, but we could meet in Tacoma at Harmon Brewery for some beers and dinner one night. :dunno:

 

[CanMan]

Maybe we can hit a trail too, depending on the dates you come up.

Michael has a good list started for ya.

If going to the Market, don't leave out the Waterfront.

If you don't mind the expence, my wife and I do "The Fisherman" or Ivar's.
The Boys like "The Crab Pot"

The Aquarium is down there and the Kids like "Ye Olde Curiosity Shop".

There are Places I like to eat up around the UW. Seattle has alot of options and varieties.

I'm right down the street from the I5 Collenade bike park, and honestly if you're into bikes at all you REALLY should at least go check it out/walk it a bit. it's pretty damn amazing what the city let us get away with down there.
