This is how we would take a tour around Seattle for one day (including Pine Place Market): Park your car around Space Needle, walk to the Needle for sight-seeing, make sure to take some great photos of the dancing water fountain! Then take the monorail to Seattle downtown, walk few blocks to Pine Market then to the Waterfront. There you can take the Seattle Great Wheel and visit the Aquarium. Eat around and walk up back, take a photo of the Gum Wall:) then finish your round trip back to the Needle! The famous viewpoint Kerry park is near by where you can drive to and stop for 20 minutes then drive to Alki beach to spend your afternoon around the beautiful beach.

Featured on Seattle Times, everyone wants to come to this place in the Winter (http://www.seattletimes.com/photo-video/check-out-the-epic-icicles-at-franklin-falls-off-i-90/)
The hike is easy but parking is a little hassle as you can only park on the side of the icy narrow road. Plan ahead!
