I live a bit north of Seattle. I don't normally do any of the typical 'tourist' type things. I work a about 4 blocks from the Seattle Center but don't visit often. The Space Needle (at the Seattle Cener)is kind of cool but I know there is a charge to go to the top. Havimom is correct that the Old Curiosity Shop is down on the waterfront (very close to the Pike Place Market and the Ferry Terminal). A ferry boat ride would be fun too! I can't think of anything else to suggest at the moment but will post if I think of something! - Meg B.
