Here's the itinerary that I suggest to everyone that visits here!!
Pike Place Market:
http://www.pikeplacemarket.org
~ I would recommend parking in their garage when you first visit the city. It's accessible from both the waterfront & the Market, 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

~You can walk down 1st avenue to Pioneer Square from the Market or take the free bus that runs during the day.
~ 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.
Ferry ride to Bremerton or Bainbridge:

~ 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.
~Have seafood for dinner...Maybe check out The Fisherman's Restaurant that's in the Bay Pavillion.
~The Seattle Aquarium can also be nice during the winter, as it's mostly indoors.

Space Needle/Seattle Center:

~ 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.
HAVE A GREAT TRIP!

I've lived in Seattle all my life. Get away from the downtown area. Sure if you've never been there, you need to check out the Space Needle, Pike Place Market and Pioneer Square like all the travel brochures tell you to. That'll take you like 2 days tops. If possible check out Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helens. They're not in Seattle but they're close enough where it's worth it and it's definatly worth it. Ask where the locals go. I find that is where all the fun is once you get past all the tourist places.
