Sightseeing
The famous Pike Place Market...they have the cheapest, most beautiful fresh flowers! I recommend doing a tour with Seattle's Free Walking Tours

They give excellent tours, and have great insider knowledge on the market. You donate what you feel is adequate at the end. The best part id the tour guide has an AMZING relationship with vendors, they give you samples, discounts, and he give you the best information on the market. I donate 20$ a person when I take this tour (sometimes more!) because it is WORTH it, and it's a GREAT tour! Don't be a CHEAPO! They even have someone from the group catch he fish with the fish guys.....best tour of Pike's!
