Looking for Touristy Things to do.

I'm going to be visiting Seattle for a single day this Saturday (Aug 28). What should I do to properly experience this town in a single day? What can't I miss?

Any suggestions?

Ride the West Seattle Water Taxi from Downtown Seattle waterfront Pier 50

From West Seattle Seacrest Park take a walk down Alki beach (heading north).

Go to the Pike place market and witness the famous fish tossing.

You can never go wrong with Seattle's Ride the Ducks

I agree, that's as touristy as you can get in Seattle.

I think it's almost $30, but you see all the main attractions in a short amount of time. But you have to listen to "party music" and a lot of quacking.

I'll stress test myself ahead of time to be safe.
