Things To Do
Pike Place Market
The must-see stop in the city! Watch fish fly and sample fresh foods with a view of the waterfront--and don't forget the coffee!
Seattle Center
Where you can find the Space Needle, the Museum of Pop Culture, Pacific Science Center, lots of food in the Armory, and more!
Seattle Aquarium
See the new Ocean Pavilion and amazing sea creatures right next to Pike Place Market and near plenty of fun downtown!
Argosy Cruises
Our favorite way to see Puget Sound is by boat! Argosy offers 2 cruise options to see either Elliott Bay and the Seattle Waterfront or pass through the Ballard Locks into Lake Union.
Von's 1000 Spirits
A Saunders family favorite restaurant, close to Pike Place Market and the Seattle Art Museum!
Ballard (Hiram M. Chittenden) Locks
Bring your binoculars to spot seals, sea lions, salmon, and blue herons between the passing boats (and bring Sarah with you too).
Discovery Park
The largest park within the city, with amazing trails that take you through many landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and if the weather's clear, views of Mt. Rainier and the Olympic Range!
Washington Park Arboretum
Had enough of fish and city living? The Arboretum is free to explore! Walk the main loop for an easy tour or walk one of the many side trails to see the flora of the Pacific Northwest.
Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture
Margaret won't be at work this weekend, but you can spy on her office and say hello to the dinosaurs!
