The StonGard factory is in Bellevue just north of Seattle.
That's one accessory you will be glad you have for the ride home.

I'd recommend the tour of the underground tunnels in downtown. I found it very interesting. I don't remember exactly which streets it's located on but it should be in any tourist guide for Seattle.

Well, you should check out Pike Place Market, shopping and tourist attraction all in one.

Then there's the Space Needle, good views.

If you're into rock and roll, especially its history, the Experience Music Project is cool; it's the weird looking building near the Space Needle.

Hope that helps,

Ted

If you're bring your S2000 hit East Mercer Way (southeast perimeter road of Mercer Island) preferably late at night.
Take the southbound pass first, when you reach the point where the twisties subside, flip a u-turn and bust back the other way.
Warning, two pass limit (one south, one north) then get the hell out of the area before the cops show (MI

I know this is out of Seattle, but you should check out the San Juan islands en route from Vancouver, BC. If you set aside a day and take the car ferry, it's really nice out there.

As for Seattle itself, a drive along Lake Washington is pretty nice. Pike Place Market in downtown is another nice option.

The weather will be a factor of course....

If you want to take a tour of Boeing's corporate headquarters, you better do it soon; I understand they may be coming to my neck of the woods (DFW area). I'm sure Mr. Boeing is spinning in his grave!
