I like Sue's idea, too. I'm looking forward to going to Seattle for the first time in April. But, Alice has been there. She enjoyed the Seattle Underground tour. From Wikipedia: "The Seattle Underground is a network of underground passageways and basements in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle.... They were located at ground level when the city was built in the mid-19th century but fell into disuse after the streets were elevated. In recent decades, they have become a tourist attraction, with guided tours taking place around the area."

In Victoria, staying at the Fairmont Empress Hotel would be cool. There is a very nice High Tea in Lobby Lounge. We both really enjoyed Butchart Gardens there in Victoria.
