The view out of my hotel room at the Sheraton downtown Seattle.
The gorgeous tree-lined 5th avenue.

Fresh seafood. Fresh seafood everywhere.

The other side.
The first glimpse of the famed Space Needle.
Taking the ferry to Bainbridge is a great way to then take photographs of the Seattle waterfront/skyline while on the boat.
As we leave port on the Bainbridge Ferry.
Wonder if the bottom of Puget Sound is indeed sandy.
I wouldn't mind retiring to a place like this.
The Bainbridge Island ferry terminal.
Seattle's icon, the Space Needle.
I'm glad Seattle's famous rain held off during the time I was there.
Outside of the Space Needle, nothing of Seattle's skyline particularly stands out.
On the Bainbridge Ferry.
An interesting street with lightbulbs strung across it throughout. Shame I didn't catch this during night time.
Looking at the train tracks at King Street Station, adjacent to Century Link Field.
Looking up at the icon before I make the trip to the observation deck.

I am an old lighthouse.
