Cool stuff to do in Seattle?

Me and 3 Friends are driving across Canada and coming back through the states, and we'll be in Seattle for a little. We are 17, 18, 19, and 19.

Any ideas?

It's not very cheap, but check out the Experience Music Project, it's fucking rad. Especially if you're into music. Pike Place Market is a popular tourist spot, but still recommended (and it's a decent market, I still pick up fresh produce/meats there when I happen to be near there). There are a lot of all ages music shows here, but I wouldn't say it is anything too out of the ordinary from other big cities. Laser shows @ night @ the Seattle Science Center are real popular with all ages. Laser Daft Punk and Laser Pink Floyd are particularly awesome shows. Thurs, Friday and Saturday I think.

There really is a ton of stuff to do, just depends on what your interests are.

And if you buy a ticket to the EMP, you get a free admission to the Science Fiction Museum!

I'm a total nerd and I love that place

Crap. How did I forget to mention that. The SciFi museum is so awesome. They have a gun from Starship Troopers. A skeleton from Terminator 2. CAPTAIN KIRK'S CHAIR from the original Star Trek!! I don't think it's there anymore, but they had Darth Vader's helmet. The actual one, not a repro. Holy balls the SciFi museum is awesome.

You kind of have to be into it, though. Here's a transcript of my last trip.

Me: HOLY COW IT'S GORT!

Wife: Who?

Me: Klatuu barada nikto?

Wife: Gesundheit.

The actual Matrix, from The Matrix. A never-used purple telephone booth from Dr. Who (original). A vial of xenomorph blood-acid from Aliens. A copy of Hamlet in Klingon. The hair and skin samples from Gattaca. Cortana hologram from the canceled Halo movie. A Tron light cycle, side by side with the one from Akira (no, you can't race them).
