I lived there for several years, a couple recos for anyone would be to go to https://cafecampagne.com/ for breakfast and then take the ferry to Bainbridge island. If it's cloudy, you may not able to see Rainier anyway. The ferry to Bainbridge is the perfect half-day trip and if there are moderate clouds, you *should able to see Rainier on the trip.
Also, there is beer on the ferry.
