Seattle

We are now in Issaquah, WA near Seattle.

On Wednesday we drove into Seattle to see the sights.

Pike Place Market reminded me a lot of Faneuil Hall and Haymarket Square in Boston.

We walked  through the Seattle Sculpture Park.

We, of course, visited the Space Needle.

Near the Space Needle is Chihuly Garden and Glass. This is an art exhibit featuring works of blown glass created by Dale Chihuly. It is really quite amazing.

The piece below is outside. There is a robins nest and Mrs. Robin in the sculpture.

Also near the Space Needle is a great water fountain where many children and a few adults were cooling down.

We walked by a Cisco Building. I don’t think I know anyone who works in the Seattle office.

The following day we took our bikes to Alki Beach and rode a few miles.
