What to do in Seattle? Restaurants: Ivar's on the Waterfront or The Fisherman, just up the street. Space Needle observation deck if the weather is clear. Museum of Flight a must if you are any kind of airplane buff. Most people visiting want to go to the Pike Place Market, you can combine that visit with the waterfront restaurants I mentioned above. Another good restaurant is Chinooks at Fishermans Terminal in Ballard. The Seattle Art Museum, SAM to the locals, has gained a good reputation, right in downtown. Another attraction is the Seattle Underground Tour in Pioneer Square, tours the 'underground city' that remained after the Great Seattle Fire. If you have local hosts to guide you, take a drive along Lake Washington Blvd, lovely homes. For the really unusual and related to Seattle only because it is here, there is a now privately owned USSR Foxtrot class sub tied up south of the main waterfront area, open to tours.
