If you don't have a TJ's in your town it's fun to go check out. I'm not a big fan of their meat and produce. But their dry goods and cheese are great.

One of Seattle's best places. I suggest going before 1030. Otherwise it is insane. Make sure you go to the lower level shops and check out the gum wall. (bring some gum to leave behind)

I took my dad on this for his 70th Birthday this year. This was a treat for both of us! A very cool perspective of Seattle's land and water. Bring earplugs and only do it when the weather is decent.
