I've visited the Space Needle on numerous occassions since everyone who visits wants to go. It's pricey but on a clear day, the observation deck really does offer million dollar views. The bar is overpriced, but this is to be expected. Similarly, the restaurant is mediocre- the stunning view compenstates for this.

Pricey but quality service for the furry kids in your home
A friend recommended this Vet to us, which we've been using for about 3 years now.

A friend recommended this Vet to us, which we've been using for about 3 years now.
Personally I think it's on the pricey side, just for an office visit...plus it's convenient and the quality is good...so I haven't gone elsewhere, yet.
The biggest bonus is it's a 24-hr vet so if you have a middle of the night emergency you don't have to freak out about where in the Earth to bring your cat, sensing that Swedish probably wouldn't be a good idea...
They also do bording- sort term, if your furry friend is gettting something done- twice our one cat, who thinks he's a dog, has had a huge abscess...just as we're leaving town for the weekend...so we left him in their care...instead of roaming the streets of Burien....
So they are really great and helpful, just a little pricey.

Despite the touristy location, the Seattle Aquarium is really worth the visit. I attended a graduation party here, what a perfect venue! Sadly I haven't been back since but plan on going very soon as my son loves fish and fishtanks. The Aquarium also offers many educational programs for kids- check out their website for themes. Recently the theme was sea turtles, my favorite! Unfortunately there aren't any discount days here which is a bummer since adult admission is $12 per person!

Beautiful museum in a beautiful location
SAAM is great museum and well worth a visit. If you visit SAM, downtown, you can visit SAAM for free with your SAM stub within the same week. Also the museum is free the first Thursday and Saturday...
SAAM is great museum and well worth a visit. If you visit SAM, downtown, you can visit SAAM for free with your SAM stub within the same week. Also the museum is free the first Thursday and Saturday of the month.
It's a small museum but well laid out. Not sure how much fun younger kids would have here, but you could always keep the trip short and have a picnic lunch outside.
Great place to bring visitors who enjoy museums.

A friendly VW repair shop

For the most part, all of my experiences with University VW have been positive. They have a shuttle to take you somewhere while you wait for a repair. If you buy your car there they have free loaners which is a bummer for me, since I didn't buy my car here but I would have if I had known about the free car loaner vs the dealership where I did buy my car. As far as dealership service repair shops go, I feel they have been decent in price and great at explaining car problems and solutions in lay terms. I've tried other VW repair shops and have been most satisfied with this one.

All newborn baby things under one roof

This is a great store that I stumbled upon when I needed to rent a breast pump. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable. Every pump-related product was available and we well as other pricey but high quality goods like burp rags, nursing bras, and products to help with milk production.
The Seatte store is small so it can feel crowded rather easily but that shouldn't stop your from visiting, especially when preggo. They even have a reading room where you can browse/borrow various "crunchy" type pregnancy/birth related books.
Their website is also pretty decent.

Great mix of new and used baby stuff

Great consignment store, but not so great if you're claustrophobic as the items are jam packed all the way up the ceiling! But, this is great in terms of a wide selection of products. They have pregnancy-related items, clothes, and toys including new products making a nice mix of items to choose from. Also the location is great because if they don't have the item you want, you can likely find it new at nearby U-Village or The Right Start.
I bought a used few toys and clothing items for my baby, all were in great shape and very reasonably priced. The staff was also very knowledgeable about baby products and provide suggestions on other stores you might want to check out.

An amazing amount of kid's stuff under one roof

I stumbled across Kim's via craigslist, where they often post some of their better acquisitons. Kim's is a very crowded consignment store that seems to sell just about everything a child could possible need. Some, if not much of the stuff, has definitely seen better days but occassionally there is a good find. I got a great exersaucer that retails for twice the price.
I called ahead of time to buy the exersaucer and paid over the phone to hold the product.

*I* wish I was a newborn & could wear these clothes!!

OMG- words along can not describe how cute, soft, and cuddly these fabulous newborn clothes are. They have a whole line of outfits, stuffed animals, blankets, bibs, and the like (bunny/garden themed). More of a gift item, or a going home outfit than daily wear... I mean when else would you spend $100 for cute soft little bunny shoes, bunny ear hat, and outfit??????
The "main" store is in LaConnor...but they sell there products in a variety of boutique stores through the Sound...so just call them to find out where.
I bought my son this blue bunny ear hat...which fit him for all of a day, but that's okay- b/c I got a picture of it :)
For baby #2 I'm totally splurging and buying his/her going home outfit from here, for sure!!!!!
