I lived there for 7 years.....

The ferry to Bainbridge Island is a nice little ferry ride (you've got to do
something on Puget Sound while you're there; there are also ferries to the
San Juan's (very scenic; Friday Harbor is a popular destination for a small
on-water trip) and takes round trip it can give you a perspective of Seattle
and hopefully it will be clear enough to see Mt Rainier.  Also, if you are
into absolutely fabulous one-of-a-kind furniture made by true artisans there
is a trade guild about 2 blocks off of Pioneer Square that is breathtaking.
(I make furniture and I couldn't make furniture like that in 100 years).
Also in the same area there are art (oil and watercolor), glass (blowing; in
every shape), and antique stores.

here?

The Pike Place Market at the north end of downtown is a must-see.  It's a
farmers market/craftfair/etc kind of place - infamous for the salmon
throwing fish market.  I always look at it as having something for all the
senses.  Plenty to see, street musicians to hear (some of whom are very
good), the smell of hot cinnamon rolls...

The original Starbucks is located at the Market and there are a number of
hole-in-the-wall restaurants all around the Market which wonderful food.
The park at the north end of the Market has a great view of the waterfront.

If you go there, there is a parking garage on Western, the next street
towards the water, that isn't too outrageous.
