[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We visited Seattle with teens a few summers ago and San Francisco a few more summers ago, both on the way to other places.  I had been to both cities myself several times before.

Kids loved the Alcatraz behind the scenes tour in San Francisco, in addition to Muir Woods, Chinatown Food tour, and general city stuff - the Wharf, Ghirardelli, etc.  A year later, they enjoyed the Space Needle in Seattle, plus the Chihuly Museum, Pike Place Market, Ballard Locks, etc.

We find fun wherever we go.[/quote]

Sure, so do I.

But as you said, you were only there for a quick stop en route elsewhere—and the few items you mentioned as highlights would barely fill one day.

I’m curious what a typical day looks like. Are you sleeping in? Going to bed early? Taking afternoon breaks?

I can understand running around DC for several days given the museums, landmarks, etc. And NYC has plenty to do. Rome, London, Paris, etc. have so much to see and do.

But Seattle? Yeah, Pike Place is fun for like 30 mins. SF Wharf is a place you pass by while heading out to eat. Even the YouTube videos or articles on what to do in those cities are pretty short. [/quote]

Seattle is as much about what is outside the city as what's in it. Whale watching, hiking, etc. Boeing tour, Space Needle, Chihuly, etc, all within the city.[/quote]
