If you have a couple days to kill. You should catch the hop down to Eugene Oregon ( 40 min flight). Rent a car and drive to the Oregon Coast (1 hour drive )and take Hwy 101 south . It follows the coastline and is amazing. Follow it down to Crescent City and drive thru the Redwood forests and see stout grove. A great place to eat in Seattle is the Broiler and take in Pike Street fish market not far from the space needle. If you walk the streets there are a lot of homeless on the streets. Traffic is bad but the street layouts are easy to follow in the city. Around the space needle there are some chain hotels that are okay and reasonable. There is a commuter train you can hop on and I believe there is a station next to the field. There are some hotels in close proximity to the field also..
