I'll be in Seattle from JUne 10-18. Other then the normal touristy stuff (which we'll do) what are some good things to see/do.?
I'm thinking like museums, good daytime restaurants, tours, etc. We have a Mariners game planned already.

Your "normal touristy stuff" already includes some of this stuff, but it might not, so....
Downtown:
- Pike Place Market
-- get donuts at the Daily Dozen
-- go to the "original" Starbucks (though it's not really the original)
-- there are quite a few good lunch places in the Market
- Seattle Art Museum
- ACT Theatre
Waterfront:
- take a harbor cruise - either on Argosy Cruises (I like the Lakes Cruise) or a ride on a Washington State Ferry (a cheaper way to see the harbor, but without the narration)
- Olympic Sculpture Park
- Seattle Aquarium
- some of the places are closed along the waterfront because of construction
Pioneer Square
- the Pergola
- the Underground Tour (though I haven't actually done this myself)
- there are a fair number of galleries
Chinatown/International District
- Jade Garden for dim sum
- Wing Luke Museum
Safeco Field
- you're already going to a game
- you might want to take the Safeco Field tour
Seattle Center
- The Space Needle (lunch may be kind of expensive, but you don't have to pay the elevator fee)
- Experience Music Project / Science Fiction Hall of Fame and Museum
- Chihuly Garden and Glass
- Ride the Ducks - Seattle seems uniquely suited to this. I haven't been - yet.
And if you have or are willing to ride the bus
- Fremont (the Troll, "Waiting for the Interurban" and the Lenin statue)
- Woodland Park Zoo
- Archie McPhee
- Hiram Chittenden Locks (in Ballard)
