We will be there the weekend the Blue Jays are in town, and am hoping to go to one of the games. Has anyone ever gotten the Seattle City Pass, it looks to be a good deal to me?

Depending on the patience of your kids, taking a boat trip from Lake Union through the canals and back to Elliot Bay / Downtown is worthwhile. The boats go through the Ballard locks where the boat rises up and then goes out towards the open water back downtown. Scenery is great, the locks are kinda of neat for kids. It's not super cheap but no more than getting them all to a baseball game.
There's also a ferris wheel right around where the boat drops you off. It would also place you close to Pike's market if that's on your list.
