Depends on what you are into....
Good point, we enjoy a lot of nature-type stuff, but he's also a sci-fi kind of guy, and we're both into music so the Science Fiction/Music Experience would be a great choice. I just looked up the duck boats and that looks like fun too.
Keep 'em coming!
On http://www.tivocommunity.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, in the Happy Hour - General Chit-Chat area (you need to have an account there to enter that area, for some reason), there are a bunch of Seattle discussion threads. Get a (free) account and search by title for Seattle. There's also http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=466276&highlight=portland" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Seattle was typed wrong in the title). Again, you'll need an account to read it.
I lived in the Seattle area for ~9 years over 2 stints (moved back from there most recently last year).
As for EMP/SFM, IMHO, EMP is totally not worth the price of admission. As for the SFM part, I went before and that was worth it, but IIRC, they were doing a revamp and basically closing down/removing most of the sci-fi exhibits. It's sorta confirmed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMP_Museum" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. You might want to call them to get the details. My last visit was when the BSG exhibit was still there. I think much of the other sci-fi stuff had been removed already.
If you like planes and factory tours, you MUST go to http://www.boeing.com/commercial/tours/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. It's in Everett though. There's also http://www.museumofflight.org/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
