Seattle things to do / what to know

[Smallfamily]

We are in port from 7-8pm. Looking for the must see things. We love to be active walking around exploring not in groups. Do not enjoy shopping. Would like to go up in the needle (not to eat) if anyone has info on that. Would prefer to plan a walking tour if possible. If not we could uber some of it. Thx everyone :)

If you look on the West Coast Departures board, there are dozens of threads on Seattle, things to see and do, etc.

Looks like Infinity on May 25th right? Docks for day stop at Pier 66 which is basically right downtown. Visiting Seattle Center (where Space Needle is) is good but the better view by far (especially if not eating there) is from the top of the Columbia Center. Taller building sitting on higher ground. Space Needle is an icon for sure but not the best view unless.... you want a picture of the Seattle skyline with Mt. Rainier behind it (if it is even visible). And there are better views for that too but not as easy to get to.

 

Check out the Seattle FAQ sticky thread at the top of West Coast Departures.
