For people who live in Seattle, WA or visit, issues of tourism?

ummmm I am about to visit Seattle, WA with my mother From 13 to 23 and I was wondering a few things that are not really clear to me to see the Internet. Please answer the following questions if you know about them: 1. Are there beaches in Seattle? 2. To visit the Seattle Art Museum / Asian Art Museum have to buy tickets or you can walk in unannounced? If so, how much are they? 3. To visit the garden Japanese garden waterfall, Kubota Garden or need tickets? If so, what and how? 4. Need tickets to the Space Needle? 5. What other good sites? please do not laugh … I I'm only 14 and plan on the issue for me and my mother because she has no idea how to work on Internet and I've never been in this city. will thank you!
