Seattle


Seattle is a beautiful city with terrible weather. For our brief visit, it delivered on both. We bought tickets for the Space Needle, where from 520 feet we had a view of low precipitous clouds from a different perspective than ground level. Thankfully they superimposed a bright background on the visitor photograph.

We visited Pikes Place Farmers Market (featured in Sleepless in Seattle) avoided the famed flying fish, and walked past the first Starbucks, saving ourselves for Top Pot Donuts (featured in my previous life).

We also got a chance to see the Dale Chihuly (glass) Garden in construction, which promises to be amazing and they say visible from Space, though I reckon not on a cloudy day.
