What to do for a few hours after cruise and before flight

[ladyjane]

Our return flight out of Seatac isn't until 3:30pm. Looks like we will have a few hours to spend in Seattle. We are arriving the morning before our cruise so and plan on visiting the Space Needle and Pikes Place Market. What do you suggest we do in the time we get off the ship and go to the airport? Is there a nice place to have a leisurely lunch? Is there something we should see before heading home? Should we just stay on the ship as long as possible and head directly to the airport??

Which pier ? if it's 66, go back up to the Market to one of the bakeries.

Since you're going to Alaska, visit the Klondike Museum downtown (free) BEFORE your cruise.

have you considered a city tour followed by a airport drop?

both do this. You can see the Locks and Salmon running, city views and get transport back to Seatac. Easy as your luggage will go with you.
