Seattle

Approaching Seattle. Couldn't take ferry today so had to drive. It was pretty nice this morning but it poured when we got back and we would have been soaked because its a 1-1/2 mile walk from base to ferry.
Fishermans Marina. This is the Wizard from "Deadliest Catch".

Here's the Northwestern from "Deadliest Catch. This was as close as we could get. The marina is surrounded by a fence and it's locked so we could only stand outside on the public marina and take pictures. This one is a really clean boat. The Hansen's take good care of it.


Pikes Fish Market. Very crowded today. They wouldn't throw any fish because no one was buying anything. We wanted to buy some Copper River salmon because it was so good last night at dinner in Gig Harbor but it would have cost $150 to ship home!!!!



We walked for miles on the Seattle waterfront and a lot of it was uphill! We had lunch at the Buffalo New York Style Deli. It was really good and mom was happy to sit down for a while.




The ferry coming into Seattle from Bremerton.





Sideways picture of entrance to Seattle Music Experience. It was really cool. There was a photo exhibit of musicians taken by Graham Nash, the Jimmy Hendrix Experience, and a whole exhibit on Seattle musicians over the years, including alot of their gear, original lyrics written on scratch paper, and alot of broken guitars! You could even go in and play guitar in one of the rooms and make your own demo tape.






This is the tree of guitars when you enter museum. It goes all the way to the third floor.







Seattle Space Needle. Huge long line to get in.








Damian, here is one of the DUKW's. Maybe you and dad can take a ride someday!
