Lots to see and do in Seattle -- we also got the City Pass the first time we went (albeit 10+ years ago).

Seattle Zoo is also pretty good (not sure how much admission is though).
You also mentioned its your first time out of the country -- if you're driving you'll need your passport but your kids can just use their birth certificates.

Update on the sales tax exemption part - Starting July 1, 2019 Alberta residents still get tax exemptions, but will have to submit receipts to the government to get a refund, stores won't be able to take off the sales tax on the spot anymore.
