Excellent (really) fish & chips, and you need to be sure and get the Scottish Eggs, too! Great decor, and I love all of the framed Scotch distillery photos.

I can't drive by this place without my wife making us stop by and get a 1/2 dozen. (I definitely recommend the double chocolate or carrot cake though - super good)

Sightseeing

A great, beautiful, and free local attraction where you can see the locks (how boats big & small move between the lakes and ocean), a fish ladder (especially during salmon runs!), and a botanical garden all in one spot.

Everyone loves the troll under the Fremont Bridge! Bonus points for an awesome symmetrical photo opp facing away from the troll and looking down the underside bridge. You'll know it when you see it!

A very walkable and wooded zoo that feels much more natural (ok, I guess much less unnatural) than most big city zoos. They also host some great concerts and holiday themes.

A great albeit modestly sized aquarium with some fantastic exhibits and surrounded by some of the best destinations in Seattle. Don't miss the octopus! Octupi? Octopusses. (not sure why title is defaulting to "Gift Shop")

Such a great museum! Excellent displays of local and ancient animals with all of the evolution in between. You can even see paleontologists and students at work during your visit. And don't miss the "Off the Rez" frybread cafe on the way out. Excellent tacos and espresso.
