If you will be staying for a short time, you will find most of what you are looking for downtown. The usual google search will give you plenty of options to choose from. Seattle is among the top ten cities in the world for excellent dining and I wouldn't know where to begin. Some places to visit that I would recommend:
- Pike Place Market on the water front (artisans, vegetable growers, flower sellers, craftspeople and more)
- New Seattle art park above the waterfront (recently opened)
- Seattle Center (Space Needle, Experience Music Project, Pacific Science Center, Colosseum)
- Seattle Aquarium
- Seattle Art Museum
- Burke Museum of Natural History & Culture
- Fifth Avenue Theatre
- Benaroya Symphony Hall
- Seattle Public Library (newly opened and art in itself)
- Seattle Ferry ride to West Sound and back
I second amonkie's recommendation to visit the Fremont/University district in North Seattle. You will find many places that might interest you near the University of Washington.
If you do choose to come, I think you will enjoy your time here. Any date after July 4 is the beginning of our "summer."
