Seattle is a nice town. Especially in the early summer months when the highs are in the seventies and it isn't raining. I imagine that the place isn't quite as pleasant during those winter rains the Emerald City is famous for. Anyway, here are some basic observations.
The Space Needle is overrated. There are taller skyscrapers in downtown and a lot of the the northern hills are higher than it. Totally not worth twenty bucks to ride an elevator to the top. It does, however, make a good backdrop for pictures. And those are free.
The guys who throw fish are awesome.
Pike Place is like the New Orleans French Market, only twenty degrees cooler.
The gum wall is hyped up a lot, but at the end of the day it is a collection of sticky misdemeanors. It is kind of hidden, so you feel like you've accomplished something when you find it.
Town car drivers cut travel times in half.
The Mediterranean Inn is a fantastic place to stay. A great roof top view and a Starbucks off the lobby.
For the birthplace of Starbucks, there aren't as many as you'd think.
Queen Anne has a Bohemian feel without the druggies and other negative aspects. Perfect for good eats without the uncomfortable walk.
Mount Rainier is a big volcano.
This is my first attempt at blogging on my iPhone, so please forgive any spelling errors which I am sure are numerous and annoying.
