Seattle Area Boat Tours
Argosy offers several boat tours and cruises around the Seattle area. If you work for one of the major employers in the region, you may get a discount on the tours.
I've been on the Harbor Cruise a couple of times. The best parts of it are hearing all of the information about the Seattle waterfront and getting a closer view of the shipping terminal. You can get the views of the skyline across Elliott Bay from West Seattle and you can get better views of the Olympic Mountains from the Seattle area. If you really like taking short cruises then this tour could be for you, but otherwise you can probably see most everything by driving around the bay.
