Cabins near Mt. Rainier and hotels in Seattle

Looking for suggestions for cabin rentals near Mt. Rainier and hotels or bed and breakfasts in Seattle for mid-August. My wife and I want to spend two nights in a cabin near Mt. Rainier and three nights in a hotel or B&B in Seattle in mid-August. We'll be bringing our son, who will be 21 months old. We would go as high as $200 per night, but would prefer to keep it closer to $150. Additional preferences:

Cabin
• Allow children under 10 (first two I looked at that I liked don't allow them)
• Refrigerator, microwave, and grill or firepit
• Quiet, secluded
• Close to one of the Mt. Rainier entrances
• Bonus: walking or hiking trails, ponds or streams nearby
• Bonus: hot tub (is this why < 10-year-olds are not allowed?)

Hotel
• Within walking distance of Pike's Place
• Within walking distance of at least a couple breakfast, lunch and dinner places, or has a decent restaurant on-site
• Not kid-averse
• Bonus: No charge for parking

Good hikes around Seattle.

Good hikes around Seattle. Although it's raining right now outside my office window, us Seattleites are still hopeful for a beautiful Summer weekend.

I'm new(er) to the area and have yet to go on a good day-hike in the area. I've heard that Mt. Rainier National Park is beautiful, but I'm looking for any suggestions from the MeFi-ers.

What are some good (relatively easy/relaxing) hikes that you would suggest?

I don't want to drive more than 2 hours in one direction... gas is too dang expensive. (Also...do any buses run from the city to any parks? I'd love to spare mother nature, as well as my wallet.)
