NBR: Things to do in Seattle?

Hi there,
DH and I are planning a visit to Seattle mid-October and wanted to get some ideas of what to do while we are there.  We'll be staying near Qwest field and are already planning on visiting the Space Needle and the Pike Place fish market, but wanted to find out what else there is to do.

I'd love to do something outdoorsy....since we're coming from the flat and ugly desert.  Is there whale watching this time of year?  What about any outdoor parks to visit?

Other ideas?
TIA!

    You should still be able to go to Mt. Rainier in October. I think entering through Paradise is the best place, but I would double check.

    From what I have read, whale watching is normally over at the end of September - beginning of October so you may not be able to do that.

    Hi!  If you post this over on the regular Seattle board, they have a great list of things to see and do in Seattle, including recs from Nesties.  Nestie Gakester maintains the list.  Hope you have a fun trip!

    You might be able to catch whale migrations.  My recommendation is Lime Kiln State Park on San Juan Island.  You can bike or drive.  This link should have more information: https://www.whale-museum.org/

    Will you have a car?  If not, you could look into various local/regional tours through Ride the Ducks, Grayline, and Alki Tours.

    You could also take a cruise around the Bay or Lake Washington through Argosy Tours.

    My favorite outdoor place is Discovery Park for hiking and views, but it's a bit tricky to get to via bus, I think.

    After three years TTC, four IUI's plus 2 cancelled, MFI (morph, motility, count), maternal age (40 as of 5/12) & former endo, we're moving to IVF spring 2012 (good/avg AMH and FSH). We did beat the odds once, however. DD born after 2 years TTC with clomid and no monitoring at my age 35. Doctors are SHOCKED we were able to conceive. Here's hoping for another miracle.

    There's a lot of outdoorsy stuff around here.  If you want to go hiking, I'd suggest Mt. Si or Little Si.  It's probably the closest hiking to Seattle, at about 30 minutes (maybe less) east of the city. 

    Mt. Rainier is a good option, but sometimes the cloud cover up there can be pretty wicked, so I'd pack a warm jacket.  DH and I went there in August and it was cloudy and about 50 degrees!
