We started in Seattle at the Public Market. It was awesome! I so wish we had something like this in Ruskin (no that wasn't a joke). To have fresh seafood, and farm fresh fruits and vegetables, along with handmade artisans from the locally grown ingredients and having a competition among the artisans was just very cozy and refreshing. Not at all what I expected from the city of Seattle.
As many of you know already, I'm a seafood nut to begin with. Everything was so fresh, all you could smell was salt sea water. Not even the hint of any fish smell, and this was at an open air market.
At Pikes Place Seafood (one of the top tourist attractions in Seattle) the workers throw the fish that's bought and holler out as they do so. They do this so enthusiastically that it often calls for cheers and applause from the constant crowd of spectators.
Next was the gum wall that Sarah insisted on seeing. I thought it was disgusting, but she seeming to think that it was intriguing.
Josh and I rode the Great wheel and got a birds eye view of Seattle and the bay (see below).
After Seattle, we headed to the coast, Cape Disappointment State Park. Finally, we had finally made it to the Pacific coast! and by the way, that's not a black & white picture that's just what it looks like there.
We toured an old lighthouse built in 1889, and met a few old salty dogs...
Well then, it's off to the Redwoods and San Francisco. We'll try to post again real soon!
