I lived just outside of Seattle......It is amazing up there!!! You definitely have to go to Pike's Place Market - VERY COOL!!! Also, There used to be an F.A.O. Schwartz toy store down town that is really neat to go to and walk around in...Take a drive to Mt. Ranier...there are places to drive to that have view points, and such.Â
Also, go Whale watching from San Juan Islands....ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! (most of the whale watching tours leave from downtown Seattle - you can google whale watching tours in Seattle and find some).....You also need to go to the top of the Space Needle - very cool and some amazing views!! You can also take the mono-rail from the Space Needle to another part of Seattle that is really fun and a mall that is cool.Â
Don't eat at the Space Needle Restaurant though - too expensive for the quality and what you get....although it may have changed, and it is kind of neat to be able to see those views while eating out.Â
 SO, there is my list of MUST DO's.......You will LOVE it up there...BUT, be prepared for it to be chilly and damp....June is known for that kind of weather...just be prepared and look at the weather before you pack.Â
