McMenamins Elks Temple in Tacoma would make the trip down nearly worth it in itself. It’s a big fancy historic building designed into a very eccentric and unique bar/restaurant/hotel/dancehall that utilizes and boasts a lot of local history. Plenty to explore and even a secret hidden speakeasy for patrons to find ;). Bobs Java Jive is also a fun unique “waterhole” with some good Grunge and music history. Ruston area is good too on a nice day.
In Seattle Queen Anne is a fun place to explore with its own unique local architecture. It is very close to the Space Needle and is home to famous Kerry Park, Taylor’s Shellfish, Golden Olive Mediterranean, KEXP coffee and Cafe Zingaro.
Seattle also has a lot of cool museums all over and a fancy Japanese garden that people tell me is great and I have been trying to go for years now.
HAVE FUN!! I wish you guys good weather for adventures and cozy activities if it’s less ideal conditions out :)

I would not skip over Leavenworth-Wenatchee, gorgeous scenery with plenty of neat places to check out out on the go.
You would be skipping Seattle but these are easier places to see on the move than Seattle. Seattle is more of a day-trip.
