When you figure out what you what to see while you're here, look into staying OUT of Seattle proper or plan on doing a lot of driving. Your traffic windows are small and with the relatively short stay you can count on spending a lot of time sitting in the 5th or 6th worst traffic in the nation. Going to Rainier, Paradise or Sunrise, from Seattle will take roughly 3-4 hours. Each way. Up the peninsula will take longer. Much longer, each way. Unless you want to dig clams, the ocean beaches are somewhat boring, the water is really cold, and another 3+ hour drive. Geographical oddity, 3 hours + from everywhere. Carry your wallet in a front pocket when you go to pike's place market. Mass transit is pretty good. Use buses and light rail as much as you can while in town.
