We live in the Northwest and have stayed several times in Seattle, both to ship out and to just visit, see the Mariners, etc. Try the Roosevelt downtown or do try the Edgewater with a water-side room. The view is unforgettable and the ferries go back and forth even all night. The whole area along the water is wonderful with a trolley running back and forth. You can easily make it to Pike St Market for some wonderful people watching and fine food snacking. The airport is a long way out of town. You'll see nothing worth seeing. Another tip, if you arrive the day before, get yourself Mariner baseball tickets for that evening. Safeco field is a fun place to watch a ball game, even if you're not mega-fans. Have some famous nw micro-brew, get a hot dog and settle in (actually the food ranges from the humble dog to as fancy as you want). Outside vendors sell things much cheaper than in the part and Safeco management lets you take in outside food. You'll get some of that NW flavor just by visiting the ballpark.

enjoy!
