Thrifty Travel Fun: Seattle, WA

Heading to Seattle with kids? Stick these three activities to the list - for no more than the cost of a pack of bubble gum.

1. Eww, gross, the Seattle Gum Wall! Authorities have tried to scrape it clean, but to no avail. Chew til the flavor's gone, then add your hunk of Bazooka to the stickiest wall in the world.

2. Scamper around the nine-acre Olympic Sculpture Park: free and open to the public 365 days a year, and plenty of room for wiggly, active travelers tired of sitting in a car.

3. Have you ever met a child who doesn't thoroughly enjoy getting soaked in a fountain on a sunny day? How about a fountain that spews 9,000 gallons of water? Dig out that spare set of clothing - and the camera!
