Lauri, thanks for sharing your PG info!

You'll have your daughter with you, right?

My seven year old just loves EMP and seeing whatever else may be going on in the adjacent Seattle Center. He also loves the Space Needle (yuk) and the monorail.

Pike's Place Market can be overwhelming for kids, especially on a weekend afternoon, so go early, but don't miss it.

If you have a car, Discovery Park (1/2 hr. south) will show you so much about NW flora and history, and I doubt you'll find anybody but locals there! Walking trails, Native American cultural center, abandoned military chapel, rocky beach.

Maybe show her the Fremont Troll under the north end of the Aurora bridge.

Wander the Fremont and Ballard neighborhoods. Get a coffee.

From downtown, window shop up through Belltown. My son likes the Seattle Art Museum a whole lot. (www.seattleartmuseum.org/)

Rover's is my favorite restaurant, but it's too small, too quiet, and too sophisticated for most little ones. I like the Metropolitan Grill, too.
