I’m also cheap-stay in her place that SHE PAYS for..... Go and come as I please. Eat her food-maybe not that as I plan on gorging on seafood that she doesn’t eat.

It's been 20 to 30 years since I played much of a Seattle tourist. I'm glad you can visit the aquarium, Seed'. Since it didn't receive a mention, I wasn't sure if it was still there!
I don't see a mention of the monorail but that really seemed to be just a shopping excursion and not much otherwise, for me. I would have given my eyeteeth to have gone up in the Space Needle and for the monorail ride during the world's fair back in the 60's. We weren't all that far away but I was just a kid with holes in my pockets back then.
Another ride for a blue-sky day is on the ferry to Bainbridge Island. Just the view of the mountains makes the trip worthwhile. The ferry docks are just down the stairs from Pike Place, past the restaurants and streetcars ...

The bluest skies you've ever seen in Seattle
And the hills the greenest green in Seattle
Like a beautiful child growing up free and wild
Full of hopes and full of fears
Full of laughter full of tears
Full of dreams to last the years in Seattle
In Seattle

I’m looking forward to trip. Fly out (nothing special), harass DD for 8 days, take in Seattle then train ride back home. Never ridden a train except for hundred miles in France. I’m taking the next 2 days off as vaca to recover......

Ooohh, a train ride! I always wanted to take a cross country train.
Are you going by yourself? I ask because having your own itinerary can be so much more relaxing. Less planning, you can be a more impulsive tourist.

@ninnymary can take a train to Seattle for $89, which seems like a great deal to me.
