Seattle

[Pepper]

I was in Seattle for a couple of days. Enjoyed my stay, and I would definately like to go back and spend more time exploring the city and surrounding areas.

I have always heard of how green this city was. My trip was during the first week of April and it had snowed there the week before. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] I expected to see some vegetation, but not much. I figured, oh well just my luck to plan a trip during the few months of the year that it wasn't green over there.

But to my surprise, in the 40 degree (f) weather....<span style="color: #006600">SEATTLE WAS GREEN and BLOOMING.</span>

We don't have a lot of moss in Florida. I won't bore you with all the moss photos I took. But here is one.

Re: Seattle

Everyone told me 'you must go to the Pike Place Market'. I enjoyed the crowd, the scenery, the noise, the hustle and all it had to offer.

Re: Seattle

Prices in the market seemed excessively high to me. And while it was a tourist trap, it appeared to be frequented by many local residents. 20 plus dollars a pound for king crab legs, is that close to your local price? It's about half that price here.

Re: Seattle

Florida is flat, so whenever I see land with even a little bit of grading, I have to stop and enjoy the view. Seattle is full of hills...some of them very steep.

Re: Seattle

Great pics Peppa! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70409-waytogo.gif[/img] (....those prices gotta be for tourists, I think. It's half that at the supermarkets here, an hour north of that Market.)
