Also a local (Hi Mike!). The FAQ says that there's a free shuttle to area restaurants, including the mall. The Southcenter Mall (which has a "new" name that I still can't remember) has a number of fast food/sit down options in and around.
If you travel on the light rail or transit, you'll hear about the ORCA pass (https://www.orcacard.com/). You don't need one to travel, but while you can pay for light rail tickets with a credit/debit card, you'll need cash or an ORCA pass for the bus. The OneBusAway app is available on iOS/Android/Windows and is super-handy if you're actually finding your way by bus (http://onebusaway.org/); the train has a regular schedule from 5AM(ish)-1AM every day.

If you'll have half a day or more to wander, there are plenty of cheap/free things to see in and around Seattle. Feel free to message me if you'd like any suggestions.
