I have a suggested itinerary for everyone I talk to, here it is:
Pike Place Market:
http://www.pikeplacemarket.org/frameset....
~ I would recommend parking in their garage when you first visit the city. It's accessible from both the waterfront & 1st Ave, which makes it very convenient.
~ Pike's Market is a MUST-SEE. It's the oldest market in Seattle, has 3 or 4 levels of shops, restaurants, etc. Go on an empty stomach, because there are numerous food vendors and the food is delicious!!
~ Home to the very first Starbucks!
Pioneer Square/Underground Tour
http://www.pioneersquare.org/
http://www.undergroundtour.com/.........
~You can walk down 1st avenue to Pioneer Square from the Market. Pioneer Square is where Seattle began! Lots of shops, restaurants, antiques.
~ Take the Underground Tour for sure! They take you under the city streets and teach you (in a very entertaining way) about the history of Seattle. It's at Doc Maynard's bar.
Ferry ride to Bremerton or Bainbridge:
http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/ferries/.........
~ Walk to ferry dock from Pioneer Square. Catch a ferry by foot, bring your camera...it's a beautiful view of the city. Once across, you have to step off for a few minutes, then you can ride back.
Seattle Waterfront:
http://www.cityofseattle.net/tour/water....
~ From the ferry dock, you can stroll along the waterfront back to the parking garage. Waterfront is mostly shops and restaurants. My favorite is the "Ye Olde Curiosity Shop", which is also a museum of sorts.
~This is your best bet for halibut! Maybe check out The Fisherman's Restaurant that's in the Bay Pavillion.
If you have time:
Space Needle/Seattle Center:
http://www.spaceneedle.com
http://www.seattlecenter.com
~ Goes without saying that you have to see the Space Needle!! It's a Seattle landmark! You should check the calender on seattlecenter.com to see what else is going on there when you are there.
Other things to do might be the Woodland Park Zoo, the Pacific Science Center & the Museum of Flight...you can see quite a few attractions by picking up a Citypass. http://www.citypass.com/city/seattle.htm...
HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT TRIP!

There's loads to do in Seattle!
You'll definitely want to visit Pike Place Market, including the fish market where they throw the fish.
From Pioneer Square (Doc Maynard's) you can take the Underground Tour of old Seattle.
Visit Seattle Center, home of the Space Needle, Pacific Science Center (great if you have kids with you,) and the Experience Music Project.
You can take a ferry to Bainbridge Island.
Go to Ballard and visit the Chittenden Locks.
Visit the University of Washington campus. It's at its most beautiful in the spring when the cherry trees are in bloom, but it's a gorgeous campus year 'round.

Definately go to Pike's Market in downtown Seattle. Also a Ferry trip to Orca Island is great and alot of fun. If you like the Mountains, Mt Rainier has wonderful sights, although right now it may already be snowing up there. There is just so very much to do there. I lived there for a long time, and I miss it terribly. Have a great trip!

Go to the FISH market, you have to go early but it is really entertaining and can be pretty fun. Then if bored see how many Starbucks you can go into in a day.
Have fun
