If you are up for a longer journey, take either the Seattle/Bainbridge ferry or the Edmonds/Kingston ferry and make your way north to Port Townsend. A quintessential PNW town with excellent restaurants and bars like: Sirens Pub, The Public House, and Khu Larb Thai. While there you should definitely go to Fort Worden State Park, a former military base that is super fun to explore.
