For Day 2, perhaps the aquarium, check out Ye Ole Curiosity Shop (your daughter will love), walk along the water to the Olympic Sculpture Park or hop on a ferry to Bainbridge island, walk to Main Street, have lunch, check out the shops.

I'd spend time at:

Seattle Art Museum (recently expanded)

Seattle Central Library (for the architecture)

Olympic Sculpture Park

Seattle Asian Art Museum at Volunteer Park

Personally, I'd skip the Pike's Place Market and its crowds. It seems like every third stall has the same merchandise: flowers, specialty honey, jewelry, flowers, specialty honey, jewelry...

Oh no Bob! I love the market - crowds included! It's fresh, vibrant, ever-changing. As one of the oldest public markets, it's a gem. When traveling with children, I like to give them a couple dollars to taste and try, meet the vendors and interact. to this day my older teens always want a "couple bucks" for the mini-donuts and honey sticks.

I wouldn't miss the market.

Just thought I would generate some controversy!

Bob, you did. :)

I vote for Pike Place Market.

Consider shopping at the discount mall, just off I-5, west of and adjacent to, the freeway. Much better than most. Is it called Seattle Outlets? Next to the Tulalip Casino complex.

Seattle Aquarium: long controversy about the Vancouver and Seattle venues; I say it's worth a visit and it's along the waterfront where you will be anyway.

Consider shopping at Alderwood Mall and the outlet mall as you come south, then you won't have to backtrack.

From Leavenworth you might take Route 20 through the North Cascades National Park; beautiful.

Seattle Premium Outlets in Marysville.

One advantage to Lynnwood/Alderwood mall area is that it seems like every possible retail shop is there - miles and miles of strip malls! In addition to the mall, you will find name brand stores such as Target, Fred Meyer, Kohl's, Marshall's , Ross Dress for Less, Sports Authority, REI, Costco, etc, etc...

also click on my name and look at inside page for one day itinerary without a car. That will help you cover a lot of ground

We enjoyed the underground tour when my mother visited - http://www.undergroundtour.com/

Thanks for all the suggestions.

Please, please, please lose the S! It's Pike Place Market, Nordstrom, Boeing - none of them are plural.

This is the kind of stuff that makes the locals cranky.
