Drinks & Nightlife
Local brewery of beers and ciders.
Local distillery with amazing cocktails and spirit/wine tastings. Our kids (yes they can drink--being 30 somethings) say this is a great watering hole. Be sure to order a slice of Windy City pie (chicago style pizza by the slice)

Sightseeing
Seattle's famous historic farmers' market. I love to get there by 7:30 am, get a coffee and pastry at Le Panier bakery and watch the market "wake up." Lots of handcrafted items, shops, vendor stands, and beautiful views.
