Friday dinner in Fremont: highest-ranked Seattle spot in our inherited guide; the official menu lists shrimp toast. It is a casual counter, not a waterfront dining room.

The First Starbucks
Seattle, WA
Saturday morning: walk first, then coffee at the historic Pike Place Starbucks if the line fits your day. A long queue need not take over the market morning; another nearby coffee works too.
Saturday late morning: explore the main arcade and the lower levels, not only the fish-throwing crowd. Wander MarketFront and use Overlook Walk to reach the waterfront before the bike ride. Leave time for stalls and lunch.

On-demand e-bike on the Seattle waterfront
Seattle, WA
Saturday afternoon: grab an on-demand e-bike (Lime or similar) right at the waterfront. Check the app for a nearby bike. Ride permitted waterfront routes, not pedestrian-only areas.
Saturday evening: rooftop drinks / light dinner at Thompson Seattle. Check the current menu for seafood, other protein or vegetarian choices; no particular shrimp or steak dish is promised.

Seattle-Bainbridge Island ferry
Seattle / Bainbridge Island, WA
Sunday morning: walk onto the Bainbridge ferry for bay views and an island stroll. Check both crossings before you leave and keep a generous airport buffer. A Monday departure gives this day more breathing room.
