You can download a great map of Seattle bike trails here, http://www.seattle.gov/transportation/bikemaps.htm
There's also a free Seattle bike map app for ipad, itouch, and iphone. You can pick up the actual map at almost any bike shop (free). Since you're staying near Gasworks Park, ask around for the bike shop in an area called Fremont, which is very close to the park. This one bike shop in Fremont (I forget the name), carries Riv stuff. There is also Recycled Cycle near the UW campus. It's such a great map that I use it in the car, too. You'll be near or right on the Burke-Gilman bike trail which is a major bike artery for Seattle. You should have no problems exploring the city on you own. Have fun. The weather will be perfect for you. Sun doesn't set until after 7:30.
