If you can’t remember the last time you had a spontaneous family adventure or (gasp!) an unplanned Saturday afternoon, it’s time to shake things up a bit. No need to leave town, just put on your Seattle uniform (fleece jacket and Dansko clogs or Chaco sandals… bonus points for Mariners, Huskies, Seahawks or Sounders gear) and grab the gang. It’s time to act like a tourist for the day and visit (or revisit) our favorite touristy Seattle hot spots.

Tillicum Village

Explore Seattle’s Real History on Blake Island
Argosy Cruises is known for their harbor tours and themed dining cruises, but it’s their Tillicum Village Sightseeing Cruise and Native American Salmon Bake that keeps families coming back every summer. If your crew is itching to escape the city for the day, consider a cruise to historic Blake Island—legendary birthplace of Chief Seattle. It’s the perfect way to introduce your little first mate to the Puget Sound region’s rich Native American Heritage.
