Before our cruise to Alaska, my son and I pitched camp in Seattle at a couple popular hotels: Inn at the Market, which overlooks Pike Place Market and Puget Sound; and Hotel 1000, with a bathtub that fills from the ceiling.
We visited Underground Seattle, which my loved; Seattle Center, with its exhibits, amusements and rides; Seattle Aquarium, where we spent three hours of our life aquatic; and the Museum of Flight, where Alex took the pilot’s seat in jets he had only seen in books.
We spent one afternoon on bikes, which we rented at Alki Beach and rode along the bike paths. Along the way, we stopped to comb the beach for marine treasures. If you’re cruising with kids, you’ll find Seattle exceptionally kid-friendly.
