Three days is not a lot of time to see all the attractions in any city, however, with proper planning you can get in a lot of sight seeing during your visit. If you are looking for accessible travel then Seattle, Washington is the place to go. This city has a great selection of tourist attractions that are accessible, so matter if you are a sports fan, an art fan or a nature fan, this city has something for you.
City PassThe most cost effective way to see accessible tourist attractions in Seattle is to buy a City Pass. This pass, which costs under $50, will get you into the Seattle Aquarium, the Woodland Park Zoo, the Space Needle, the Pacific Science Center, the Argosy Cruises Harbor Tour and the Museum of Flight. This pass can be purchased at any of these attraction sites.
The Seattle AquariumIf you love marine life then you are going to love the Seattle Aquarium. This tourist attraction features marine life from both the Puget Sound and from marine ecosystems around the world. You can visit the Seattle Aquarium between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Sunday.
Argosy Cruises Harbor TourThe Argosy Cruises Harbor Tour is another wheelchair accessible activity that makes a great second stop after you visit the Seattle Aquarium. If you are interested in this cruise there will be a ramp that you can use to board and de-board the vessel. Crew members are available to give you hand if you need it. There are multiple levels on this boat, but only the first deck will be wheelchair accessible. Argosy offers other cruises, however, each vessel offers a different level of wheelchair accessibility, so you will need to talk with the cruise company before you head out to make sure you can get on and off the boat.

You focussed on the waterfront downtown which is a good spot to concentrate on.
Also in that area is Ivar's restaurant (not the fast-food stand but the original Seattle seafood scene on the wharf). Next door is the kitschy Old Curiosity Shop. Further south a couple blocks toward the Duwamish River is the ferry terminal. For a spectacular view buy an inexpensive roundtrip ticket to Bremerton or Bainbridge Island.
If you cross the street at the Seattle Aquarium you will find the elevator into the back side of Pike Place market. Heading out from there you have access to the art museum on First Avenue and a short bus ride to Yesler / Pioneer Square.
