Seattle - trolley for visitors

Does Seattle have a visitor's trolley car that takes you to various attractions, similar to DC and Denver...you pay one price and can hop on/off all day. It's a simple, easy way to see the sites in a relatively short amount of time. Thanks in advance.

Not that I know of; however, the buses are free in the downtown area so you can get on and off at your leisure. Seattle's downtown is much more compact than either DC's or Denver's, albeit much more hilly.

The Gray Line runs a trolley around downtown Seattle, very much like the DC trolley. It costs $17 - here is a Web site: http://www.graylineofseattle.com/tour_detail.cfm?id=168

John is right about the buses downtown and the fact that Seattle's downtown area is much smaller than the area covered by the D.C. sightseeing trolleys. I don't know, $17 seems kind of high to me.

Seattle runs a small rail streetcar along the waterfront which could do the job for you, along with the downtown buses (http://transit.metrokc.gov/tops/bus/wsc_stations.html).

Finally, there is the monorail, which can take you from downtown to Seattle Center (http://www.seattlemonorail.com/information.htm).
