Here are some more photo's that we took over the weekend in Seattle.
Snoqualmie Falls, a short drive east of Seattle in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Salish Lodge & Spa is above the falls, on the left.
It was quite entertaining to stand & watch the fishmongers at the market.

Alki Point Lighthouse - West Seattle
This is Brian who works at the La Quinta in Everett where we stayed. Very friendly. We talked about the "Mormon's" with him. He was familiar with our religion, told us that he wrote a paper in college on the Seagull Miracle. He had a copy of the Book of Mormon & knew about Joseph Smith & Brigham Young who is on top of that church in Bellevue. (We were able to correct him & let him know that it's Angel Moroni on top of the Temple in Bellevue)
The tree branches were all covered in moss. It looks so neat, I took lots of pictures.
Barry! The reason we came to Seattle
It wouldn't be a trip to the coast without a bowl of clam chowder!
Fresh fruit market across from Pike Place.
Gary - I took this picture for you. We sampled some cheeses at the Farmers Market, but didn't buy any, because I didn't have any way to keep it cool.
Next, some interesting people we saw on the streets:
Cheryl asked this guy what his instrument was called. He told her a Piano. (???!)
We saw these two when we went to the Farmers Market in Ballard. A couple hours later we went back over to Pike Place, and Voila! There they were again.
We saw quite a few people dressed up on St. Patrick's day. This guy won the prize for being most "spiffy looking".
Nice hair! (complete with green St. Patrick's day flower)
This should bring back fond memories to all who went on the 2001 Alaskan Cruise.
Draw bridge that we waited at.
The space needle is so fun. Made me want to come home and watch old episodes of "The Jetson's"
Saw this quilt I liked in an antique store. I need to make one like it some day to use up some scraps.

You were so all over my stomping grounds. If you ever want to go back you just let me know.
Looks like you guys are having fun in Seattle. I'm with Ryan, if you go back let me know. I wouldn't mind heading back to Seattle some time.
Awesome photos! And I even got a shout-out! I did enjoy some of that fine Wisconsin cheese curd during my stay there, alas it was not very squeaky.
I also like the picture of Snoqualmie falls. I'm glad you timed your visit so it was rainy (lol).
Aaaah the Cruise Ship dock does bring back memories. Have to try one of those again some day.
Chanks.
Oh, it looks like so much fun! I can't wait for my little trip to Washington state in less than two weeks.
I'm joining the queue for the "next trip to Seattle" I'd love to go back again too!
That gum wall looks interesting, I wonder what the story is on that?
Fun! I decided to comment on your pictures on flickr :)
