SEATTLE -- There's still time before the kids head back to school to check out summer at the Seattle Aquarium as a family! One of the highlights: the newest exhibit for the harbor seals. Featuring more space and better vantage points for curious kids and adults, it's the best (and safest!) way to get up close and personal with harbor seals.

Bring the family down to the Seattle waterfront- it's bustling year-round, no matter what construction headaches lurk around the viaduct. For more information, check out www.seattleaquarium.org.
