Any feedback of how parking is in the downtown areas? We'll be staying on Bainbridge Island our first night and in the central district the other three nights. Will be doing the typical touristy attractions. This will be forth of July weekend if that makes a difference.
Also, any recommendations for a day hike in either Olympic or Mt. Rainier?

Parking downtown can be tricky like any downtown but it really hasn't been that terrible for me. It depends on time of day and day of week and where you are. Worst case you park farther away, take ride share, public transit, or pay for a garage/spot. Getting to the tourist areas from the Central district is a pretty straight shot on transit fwiw if you don't mind braving it. Tickets are easily purchased using your phone.

Exploring Bainbridge today!

Day two: downtown area with the space needle, chihuly museum (octopus immediately reminded me of 888), and pike place along with great vegan food.
Mt. Rainier day trip tomorrow

Been home for a few days unwinding from the travel...
We went to Snoqualmie falls, the museum of illusions, and the Seattle Japanese garden. Finished that evening with a bulgogi beef pizza from humble pie.

On our last full day we left Seattle at about 5:30am to be at the entrance for mt. Rainier by 8:45. Hands down my favorite activity the whole trip and my favorite park visited thanks @twin for convincing this one over Olympic.
We enjoyed the city but really loved spending time in the surrounding neighborhoods and Bainbridge Island. We'd hands down be back specifically for the parks.

@pechelman oh yeah! We loved the landscaping and my wife specifically loved the giant frogs and koi fish. It was a great way to end the evening.
