Seattle, 2013.
Unexpected stop in Spokane due to thick fog in Seattle. Duh.
4 Days, 3 Nights, Airbnb studio apartment in Capital Hill.
Some seafood, some tea, lots of coffee, a bit of beer, tastes of wine.
Played Battleship and Heads-Up.
Walked up and down hills and hiked around parks and piers.
Arguably more homeless than Chicago. One drunkard was looking for a "man to love" him. (record scratch)
Slept about 9 hours/night.
Saw fish tossed at the market. Took a ferry to Bainbridge Island. Rode the monorail. Took in some open-mic comedy.
Fire roasted bagels. Russian sauerkraut pastries. Mussels and clams. Rumbles are like scrambles. Fish tacos. Homemade potato chips. Local vegetarian pot pie.
Drove 2 hours to Ellensburg to meet my great aunt and uncle for the second time and my dad's cousin and her husband for the first time.
Family is great!

Seeing sun for the first time in days.
Meeting family for the first time.
*A review I read that compared the two cities said that Seattle is the "dog-person" city while Portland is the "cat-person" city. I'm so glad we chose the one we did! And we saw a lot of dogs! They are allowed in every shop, mall, public place you can imagine!
