Great people,great places, and terrific coffee.
There's a restaurant just north of the Seattle Opera House that's totally vegetarian - they use tofu that looks, tastes, and feels like NOT tofu - it's so incredible.
The best way to experience this place is with a group - order several dishes, share them from the large lazy susan in the center of a huge round table in one of the rooms!

Point Defiance Zoo might be considered a bit far south of Seattle to see when "visiting Seattle"...
But still, a fun place to visit - the zoo, that is!
Not, of course, that Seattle isn't fun to visit - as long as you're not caught in any traffic.

Sorry, neglected to mention the restaurant just north of the opera house is oriental food.
Absolutely yummyyyyy!

What about pike place market? I didn't see that on your list. I went to Seattle on my honeymoon and did the underground tour. It was fun and informative. After reading this intel I now want to go to the Washington State History museum.
