Tacoma to Seattle August 21-23rd, 2008

We left Tacoma in the rain and by the time we got to Seattle it had returned to patchy sunshine. We wanted to play tourists in Seattle. The three cities of Vancouver Canada, Seattle Washington and California’s San Francisco have a similar feel. They are large metropolitan cities surrounded by water and are destinations for travelers from all countries. I think that Vancouver had weather closer to San Francisco. Seattle seems to have more rain than either Vancouver or San Francisco. Regardless of the rain we played tourist. We had brunch at the Space Needle and toured the city and lakes in an amphibious vehicle called the Duck. It is a great little tour of the city of Seattle and it was fun to enter Lake Union in a vehicle that in the water looks like a floating open bus. We also got to spend a little more time playing tourist with MK. We managed to pull her away from pet duty and unpacking since their recent move to Bainbridge Island. Rachel we missed you and we took good care of MK.
