I’m ready to go.

Seattle Waterfront

on
June 27, 2022

There is a lot to do on the Seattle waterfront. The problem is once you get down there, it is uphill all the way back. Once I realized just how bad it was, I knew I wasn’t going to be making many trips down there.
I wanted to get all…

Pike Place Market

on
June 24, 2022

When I first booked my trip to Seattle, I thought Pike Place Market was just a Farmers Market with the first Starbucks. I didn’t realize how many good places there were to eat and drink there.

Seattle Stadium Tours

on
June 13, 2022

The stadiums in Seattle are interesting places to visit. I had a great view of them flying into SEATAC which made me more anxious to get a closer look.

Seattle Grunge Music Tour

on
June 10, 2022

One of my goals on my two day trip to Seattle was to visit as many 80’s-90’s Seattle Grunge music landmarks as possible.

In the interest of time I tried to limit myself to sites between SEATAC airport and the cruise port at Pier 91. That ruled out Kurt Cobain’s…
