I had a business trip out to Seattle (well, across the Sound from Seattle) and although most of the time was spent in meetings, I had a little time for sightseeing.
The view from my hotel - when tide is out, the small bay is even more empty than in this picture. When tide is in, it is almost as high as the road.
Silverdale marina. In the summer there are tons of boats... in January, not so much.
Another beautiful Silverdale view
Blurry, but one of my favorite meals that I always have to have when I'm out there: pho from Chung's. Yum!!
After a bunch of meetings in Silverdale/Bangor, it was time to head back over to Seattle to fly home. Any time I have a chance to, I always take the ferry back over to Seattle. It is a beautiful ride (almost) every time!
This isn't a great pano, but it is taken from one of my favorite spots on the ferry, up on the second deck with the wind in my face.
Speaking of windy!
This was a lucky ferry ride, we had an amazing Rainier view the entire time. So, so beautiful!
Seattle city view
Looking back towards Bainbridge Island
I love the ferry at sunset
Or pretty much any time. I just love the ferry.
The Sound is a shipping lane so there are always tons of huge ships to see.
More Seattle
And another view of Rainier
I had a few hours to explore in Seattle before my flight so I went to Pike's Place market and wandered around. I took these pictures for the kids, some cool veggies that they hadn't seen before. They wished that I had actually bought the vegetables instead of just taking pictures of them!
Another great trip, I love Seattle!
