I'm from there. Most people love going on the Underground Tour on 2nd and Pike. You get to learn all about the History of Seattle. My cousins who would come to visit still remember that best of all.
Pikes Place Market is a favorite with all the Fresh Fish and markets. You can watch them throw fish. In the 100th Episode of "Frasier," they tossed a Fish in front of Niles and Frasier.
You see the Sign for Pikes Place Market in "Sleepless in Seattle" from when Tom Hanks and Rob Reiner are walking downhill and Tom asks Rob if his butt looks okay.
Seattle Space Needle at the Pacific Science Center is one of the places people like to go.
You can hop the West Seattle Ferry. Right by the pier is Ivar's Seafood Restaurant. Great Clam Chowder. When Captain Ivar passed away, he didn't have any children so he divided the shares of his stock amongst all the employees.
There's the Seattle Art Museum if you like art.
My parents are Asian so they like goig to Uwajimaya (sp?). It's in the International District. Seattle is a Port of Entry because of the Sea-Tac Airport so there are a lot of ethnic cuisines.
If you want to visit a Native American Reservation, observe the culture, and eat some smoked salmon, that's fun.
There's the Supermall in the Kent/Auburn Area. Though that's about an hour's drive away. It's a huge mall like any other mall.
If you really want to drive out of Seattle, you can either hop the ferry or drive up and down Interstate 5 to look at some state parks.
You can visit Starbucks. I happen to like all the cozy cafes where you can sit and read a book. There are a lot of quaint shops around.
If you want to cross the border up North, you can go to Butchart Gardens in Canada. It's a Rock Quarry that was converted into a humungous garden.
