If you are looking for an excellent, romantic and very pricey place to stay, try Salish Lodge on Snoqualmie Falls (30 minutes or so from Seattle). Costco had a gift package for a nights stay, 2 spa treatments, and bed and breakfast for a pretty good deal. Dinner in the main dining room has to be reserved ahead of time, with good food in your own little private alcove overlooking the falls- again pricey $50+ per person, but very nice. The rooms feature a fireplace, 2 person whirlpool tub, with windows that open to the main room, so you can relax and watch the fire. Egyptian 300 thread count sheets and a Bose stereo alarm clock. It was truly the hotel room which we will judge all others buy. Expensive but a nice romantic experience.
In Seattle itself, Pike's Place Market is cool. It is the place they hurl the fish around. It is close to the Seattle aquarium, which was an okay aquarium worth checking out, but if you get the chance to go further north, the Vancouver Aquarium was amazing.
We never made it to the zoo, but I have heard it is pretty good.
Towards the coast, away from Seattle, Ruby Beach was cool. You could walk around during low tide and play in the tide pools, touching anemones and other fun stuff. Expect the water to be chilly.
That is all I can think of... Mike

Not sure when you are heading up there, but if you plan a side trip to Vancouver, you will need this after June 1st.
On June 1, 2009, the U.S. government will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have a passport, passport card, or other travel document approved by the Department of Homeland Security.
