Pike Place Market and the pier......Ferris wheel.
Brian
Space Needle or the Museum of Flight!

Pike Market and if it's a rainy day EMP for at least 3 or 4 hours. For any music lover. If you love glass work the Chihully Park museum for a nice day. Look up his stuff. Mind blowing.

If you like cheese like I do, you MUST go to Beechers, located right outside pike place! YUM

I really enjoyed the Bill Speidel Underground Tour. Downtown Seattle was actually raised 1level, and all the old original ground floor room are still down there. Very fascinating.
Steve
The underground tour is fantastic.

We also took the train back to Vancouver as we did the same one day cruise that you are doing.The train home was really good.

Thank you Steve, I plan 7.45 am, did you take this one or the pm one? I hope for some views. Can you get food when on the train?
Steve
We took the pm one and yes there is food and drinks on the train.
