Sightseeing
This is our favorite thing to do - take a Washington State Ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island. Once arrived, you can walk about 5-10 min to the downtown where there are great shops, wine/beer cafes and restaurants. Great way to see the Seattle skyline day or night too! A Very local activity I think : ) (Car is not required to take on the ferry)
Other options is to take day trip to Whidbey Island, but you will need to bring your car.
