Seattle City Sights

Hi there, I’m back again after cruising in Alaska and lots of sight-seeing in Seattle.  First things first.  Seattle was so filled with quirky sights, great public art and weird people.  I was there, right.  I loved the laundromat and you can see the pal that I made there.  I loved the “Flower Power” sculpture, the fountains but most of all the Seattle Public Library (Central).  This incredible building was listed as one of America’s top 10 buildings so we had to stop by on the way to the Mariner’s game.  It was spectacular.  The market was teeming with people but the buildings surrounding the waterfront were really cool.  Seattle is VERY hilly by the way.

    One of my favorite parts of Seattle was Pike’s Market. I was told that was the place to buy weddings. One could do the floral arrangements for a wedding for $200. Plus all that organic produce! That was enough to get me to move! xoxoxox

    are you sure “cycle friendly” wasn’t a chalk outline of a crime scene? great sculpture and glass, but who were those two homeless people “hanging out”?
