With such a short time in Seattle scheduled, we decided to stick to the classic touristy stuff. Walked through the Public Market, which was amazing. I’ve never seen such beautiful and exotic flower arrangements – and they were so cheap! Like, $5 cheap for a nice bouquet with no carnations in sight. Also saw a bouquet of sweet peas, my favorite, which you never see at a florist’s. Fresh fruits & veggies that were the brightest and most attractive I’ve ever seen, and also for cheap! We continued along the Puget Sound waterfront admiring the shops & boutiques before heading back to the room to get ready for dinner at Queen City Grill (read about that on our new Tastes & Toasts section).

The next morning, we made the obligatory trip to Starbucks for breakfast then headed to Seattle Center for a stroll among the museums. We rode the bullet-speed elevator to the Space Needle’s observation deck and took something like 360 pictures. It was another gorgeous, cloudless day (yes, we were still in Seattle!) so the views were amazing. Although it was a very quick first visit (for me) to Seattle, it was a great introduction to the Emerald City (formerly nicknamed the Queen City, hence the grill).
Off to Spokane for a visit with Ash, Bridget & Hogan! Happy belated birthday, Hogan!
