Here's a sample itinerary:
Park at Pike Place Market and start the day perusing the shops there. You might choose to get a snack or coffee here, since it's home to the very first Starbucks. When you are done there, you can return all the items you've purchased to your vehicle, before heading south on 1st Ave. to Pioneer Square.
This is where Seattle began and is home to the coffee house that Frasier supposedly hung out at. If you have time, I'd highly recommend taking the Underground Tour, otherwise, just perusing the neighborhood and it's antique stores is fun. Then head toward the waterfront.
Take a ferry ride to Bainbridge Island (walk-on) and once to the other side, wait and get back on for the return ride. This is a third of the price of the Argosy Cruises and is just as scenic, so make sure you bring your camera!
Finish walking north along the waterfront, until you come back to the Market parking garage. Hop in your car and head to Seattle Center.
Finish the day going up to the Space Needle and walking around Seattle Center.
It would be a very busy day, but you'd get to see the best of Seattle...have fun!

I would say go to Seattle Center and park around there if you have a car. There's a covered parking garage across from the Key Arena, which has decent prices. Then, you could walk around there (to the International Fountain, the Center House, Amusement Park). The Experience Music Project (EMP) is also located here. If you really like to play instruments or sing, it's a good place to experiment, otherwise it may seem a bit overpriced ($20) just for the history part. The Space Needle is also located in Seattle Center and you can ride up to the top in an elevator (for a fee of course...maybe $11ish) and it's a great place for views of the city and to take pictures. And the Pacific Science Center is located in Seattle Center as well if you have an interest in that, although it's more targeted towards kids. From the Seattle Center, you can take the Monorail ( if it hasn't managed to break again) to a shopping center (Westlake Center Mall). Or you could take a Ride the Duck tour from the Seattle Center (across the street from the EMP),which will give you a tour of Seattle on land and in the Puget Sound. You could walk or catch a bus to the waterfront, and have a meal at one of the seafood restaurants. There are also many souvenir shops down there. And if you're down there, go to Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, because there are many interesting things there. The Seattle Aquarium is located on the waterfront as well. And you can walk to Pike Place Market from the waterfront and see the famous fish catching. There are also many vendors there that sell things such as flowers, arts/crafts, fruits/veggies, seafood, apparel, souvenirs, and so on. You could also walk to the Pioneer District and go on the Undergound Tour, which will show you the old Seattle which is underneath the streets. There are also many antique stores here as well as bars/pubs/restaurants. Anyway, hope this helps a little.
