I'm really happy with everything I got to explore while I was in Seattle. There's definitely so much more to see though! The following are just a few of the things that I'd like to do if when I visit Seattle again.
Ferry to Vashon Island
Ferry to Bainbridge Island
Hiking Mt. Rainier
Take time to explore Pioneer Square more
and basically all the parks in Seattle — there's so many!
