Help for First Trip to Seattle
My husband and I are visiting Seattle for the first time. Arriving Sat eve 7/16/16 and leaving Tuesday morning 7/19. We are mid-60's and he is in a wheelchair, so no hiking!! But, I am a good walker and we love to tour, love music, art, science and all kinds of food. Would love suggestions on the best things to do and great places to eat in our limited amount of time. We are staying downtown and will not have a car.
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you're interested in music, you might like the EMP Museum; there's a Jimi Hendricks exhibit and a Nirvana exhibit along with with some other pop culture stuff.
It's also a very short distance from the Chihuly Garden and Glass Museum and the Space Needle.
Pike Place Market is also worth a visit since it's a historic building with some great places to buy food and grab a beer.
Check out the Original Starbucks store at Pike Place too, and the Starbucks Roastery if you like coffee; http://cestlavibe.com/getting-the-fu...ce-in-seattle/

If you purchase the Seattle City Pass, you will find several desirable sites, all of them accessible. .. the EMP is much more than music, and the harbor cruise is great fun... add the Seattle Duck Tour and you have a full taste of Seattle...

In addition to the methods on the accessibility map, there are many, many buildings along the north-south avenues that have elevators/escalators to obviate hill-climbing. For example, at the south end of downtown the Federal Building's elevators lift you from First Avenue to Fourth Avenue, with stops on Second and Third. There is a tunnel beneath Fifth Avenue close to the Fifth Avenue Theater.
