Visiting Seattle for business - best places to visit?

[TomCsTulip]

I am heading to Seattle for a Thursday - Sunday stay. I will have from 11 am Thursday until Friday morning free and then Saturday noon until 10 am Sunday. Where should I go and what should I do while I am there?

I am coming from boring Cincinnati, OH and this is my first trip to the West Coast!

Thanks for the input in advance!🙂

I thought EMP was pretty cool, but that may just be me.

When I go to Seattle I like going to the Pike Street Market, Seattle Aquarium, Woodland Park Zoo, Point Defiance Zoo and various shopping malls.

Cheers,
Aquaman <<<<<<<<< likes the zoos 😀

EMP is cool, but go on the Thursday you get in if possible, and wear comfortable shoes. For great pics, head to Highland Drive on Queen Anne hill. Don't know the name of the park, but the view of Seattle from there is priceless. Pike Place Market is great, go on a weekend to see lots action....gimme a minute to think of more....

As aquaman said, the Aquarium is good. they just remodeled a big part of it this past spring/summer.

If you're a history buff, there are the "Underground Tours" down in Pioneer Square.

Could always drive out to Snoqualmie Falls, very pretty there. Can take the walking trail (very easy) down to the bottom.
