1. Ride The Ducks of Seattle
(90 minutes)
My family and I went on this land/water tour of Seattle. Our guide was very energetic and told us lots about Seattle. We went on Lake Union and saw a beautiful view of the city.
2. Seattle Monorail
We thought it would be cool to ride the famous monorail, since we were already heading that way anyway.
3. Pike Place Market
This huge public market was full of unique foods, local tourist stores, and vendors. A must see if you are in Seattle. Beware, it is very crowded though.
4. Gum Wall
Yes, disgusting.My mom was totally against this, but I really wanted to see it. A wall full of chewed gum. Tip- Don't wear your nice shoes, as some gum lands on the Post Alley floor. You can even add a piece, if you want to.
5. Saw the Original Starbucks
Seattle is home to more than 400 Starbucks. That's a lot of lattes. I wanted to get something from the original Starbucks, but the line was out the door. I ended up getting Starbucks later on in the day, at a regular Starbucks.
6. Shopped Downtown
We shopped around. I must have see 1,000 different keychains,magnets, and t-shirts. Tip- I noticed some things were more expensive at one store, than the same item at another store. But, some stores close really early, so if you take the time to shop around, it might be closed when you come back.
The locals were very nice. One came up to us and offered to help us find a restaurant. It rains a lot in Seattle, as you might know if you live on the west coast. When we were there it rained, but not too much. We also snacked at a cupcake/ice cream shop. Seattle is a great city; I wish I could've spent more time there. Check it out, there is bound to be something you like there. 
This is the t-shirt I got in Seattle at a place downtown called Seattle Shirt Company for only 7.50! 
There was a ton of shirts to choose from and reasonably priced.
FUN! Ryan and I look forward to bringing Gavin up there sometime!
