Seattle welcomed us with open arms. The drive from Leavenworth along rt. 2 was stunning with waterfalls, snow capped mountains, and pine forests. We did a quick tour of Seattle’s Pike Place Market, panicked at the overwhelming number of tourists, walked to the Space Needle and I had some non-Starbucks coffee.
We spend the evening with Catherine and Joe at their awesome home overlooking Seattle Harbor. Relaxing by a fire with good wine, good beer and good friends while my kid obsessively and quietly played with magnetic trains for hours, was exactly what we needed. Sunday, we spend the day with Billy, Katie and family. Billy and I have been friends since elementary school and spent a lot of time doing nothing productive together in high school. After ~10 years since we last saw each other, it was great to catch up and watch our kids play together. Danielle and I felt at home in Seattle… we will certainly visit more often.
The ferry over to the Olympic Peninsula had one of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen… this was just the beginning for our time in Olympic…
