The Seattle Aquarium is fairly cool in that it's largely native species... It's not like the "Sea World" type aquarium where there's an Orca show. I think being Seattle, and being right on the waterfront, someone would keep freeing the whales, lol. It's main neat feature is a HUGE community tank that you view from an underwater dome in the middle of it.

There is a Tacoma Zoo and Aquarium too... they have new Beluga Whales, I just read. Maybe that's another thing to have on the list of options.

That dome thing is cool!

So you’ve got some options there...The day hike, the train, the beach house, the aquarium. And maybe by that time you’ll know them well enough to figure out some more things they might like.

Just try not to worry about it too much. They’ll enjoy what ever you decide to do. After all, the main purpose of their visit is to see Y’ALL, not to be entertained.

How far are you from Olympia? I remember as a kid going up to visit my Aunt and Uncle and visiting the Olympia brewery. Isn’t there some lava pits or something like that there too? Maybe that was in NoCalifornia on our way up, been so long I can’t remember.
