Pacific Northwest

We departed Charlotte and arrived five hours later in Seattle on 7/19/06.

We enjoyed dinner at duke's Chowderhouse ( small "d" correct) along Alki Beach of Puget Sound as shown in the first below picture.

Another day we visited Pike's Market where we experienced this downtown fish, produce, flowers, and crafts marketplace.

We rode the city bus system to meet the Argosy Cruise's Champagne Lady at AGC-E Dock. There, we boarded this boat and cruised the sights around Union Lake and Lake Washington.

Later, an elevator ride to the top of the Space Needle (520 feet) gave us a 360 degree view of Seattle on the clear day. The Space Needle was built in 1962 for The World's Fair held in Seattle that year. See below pictures.

Return here on Thursday, July 27 for an update.

Have a good day!
