Does anyone have suggestions of places to go for a day trip around Seattle? Or things to do in Seattle?

More info needed...how long will you stay? Will you have a car? Who's going on the trip, a family or a couple or a single or....? It's a big city; give us some idea of your interests.

I live in Seattle and am bored to tears. I hate it here, especially now, with the rain season setting in. I just wanted to get out of town for a day but there is no where to go, it is so isolated from everywhere. I wish I was in Europe...

Wow, I love living in Seattle. Too bad you aren't liking it. Can you plan a trip to somewhere sunny this winter? Like Hawaii or Mexico (is where I always go).

As far as day trips in the area, Remlinger Farms is fun in the fall season. Whidbey Island makes a nice day or 1-night trip. I like Captain Whidbey Inn there. A ferry ride over to Bainbridge Island and back. San Juan islands or the Pacific coast beaches are nice in winter (but really need at least 1 overnight stay).

Or how about activities around the city? Have you been to all the museums. The Frye is a good one and free. SAM and SAM Asian, Burke museum, etc.

You can take Amtrak train up to Vancouver.
The Victoria Clipper up to Victoria.
The train down to Portland.

Perhaps you find some ideas here:
