Seattle Day 1

We arrive in downtown Seattle. We have a good room with an ocean view, perhaps a Puget Sound view.

We decide on a walk-about. We ferret out a way to walk (take an elevator) up to Pike's Market. 

There is a fish monger where the attendants put on a show throwing fish. When a customer decides on a purchase, the attendant tosses the whole fish to a colleague for packaging.

Here is one salesman throwing a salmon to his colleague.

And the colleague catching the salmon.

Neice Stepanie has recommended a place to eat. We locate it across the street. Purported to be the best chowder in Seattle. We sample four chowders and a lobster roll.

We have tickets to the Dale Chihuli exhibit. We are impressed every time we get a chance to view one of his exhibits.

In the exhibit's outdoor garden, Carol points out the reflections of the Space Needle on the artwork.

Next stop: the top of Seattle's famous Space Needle.
