Seattle was a pleasant enough place. It was pretty as you come up the interstate. I got in kind of late in the afternoon and went to the Space Needle. It seems to be the big draw here; I did not go up in it.
The Public Market is another VERY popular hang-out - I think everybody who is anybody was here! It is a beautiful farmers' market!
This was the first Starbucks ever. (Now, isn't that interesting?) Personally, I'm not one to pay $5 for a simple cup of coffee, but Starbucks does seem to be quite popular.
Here's that Space Needle again, just later on as the sun is going down. The one thing I loved about Seattle was the GREAT weather. Blue sky, cool - it was a beyond beautiful day! I think maybe I have just been in the forests too long to appreciate traffic, other humans, and a thing called a Space Needle.
There was an amazing view of Mt. Rainier; however, Seattle's dumb baseball/football stadium got in the way. What an eyesore! (Can you tell I am not a sports fan? I am sure Seattleites love their stadium!)
