Seattle

Spending 5 days in Seattle was amazing.  So much to do and see.  Below are a few highlights from the trip out West. 

We had a lovely evening at Chateau Ste. Michelle drinking wine, eating tasty apps and listening to Alison Krauss and Union Station. The scenery was beautiful and the company delightful.

We rode the ferry across Puget Sound over to Bainbridge Island, a quaint fishing town that has been voted the 2nd most desirable place in the US to live (second to whom, I do not know).  On the island we had lunched along the water and strolled along the beach. 

Of course we visited the Fish Market!  Crowded as ever, a few of the highlights include the following: The "throwing of the fish", beautiful summer flowers, Squirrel Butter's bluegrass tunes outside the first ever Starbucks and the famous (gag-worthy) gum wall.  The Market Theater Gum Wall is a local Seattle landmark and has been deemed one of the germiest tourist attractions in the US.

Thanks to Mike and Stacey for a wonderful time and nice Nikes.
