[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the Bay Area and lived in Seattle after college. For a family trip I would probably pick Seattle in the summer but would say either would be terrific. I don't think we have heard back from the OP about family composition or activity preferences, but activities that come to mind for Seattle include:

- hiking -- no need to drive as far as Mt Rainier or Olympic NP. Good hiking up at Snoqualmie summit or along the Mountain Loop Highway (if in Seattle)
- Burke Museum at UW, Seattle Art Museum (both downtown and in Volunteer Park)
- Boeing tour
- kayaking or canoeing in the Arboretum or Lake Union
- live music
- ferry ride to Bainbridge Island
- rent a beach house on Whidbey Island -- beach, hiking, farmers markets, sea kayaking, Shakespeare Festival, County Fair, etc.
- Seattle Rep, Symphony, and/or Opera
- Woodland Park Zoo
- Ballard Locks salmon ladder
- whale watching
- thrifting
- Ballard farmers market
- Pike Place Markets
- swimming in Lake Washington

Good list. Alki Beach or Discovery Park are also nice options for a nice afternoon on Puget Sound but not driving far. Camano Island is also nice for a very quick, beautiful day trip.[/quote]
