I went to Seattle on business for a few evenings this week... It was warm, the skies were clear, and it was generally UNLIKE Seattle is for most of the year!
After hours in a plane the first night, and in meetings all day the second, I needed to walk.
It's been perhaps ten years since I was last there... The waterfront (in what I think of as the tourist district) has been built up significantly during that time, with new buildings bursting from older industrial ones, and vast blocks of new apartments with gorgeous views of the water...
The Seattle Aquarium has expanded dramatically since my last visit! The cycle lanes, pedestrian overpass, and theater-like plaza are all lovely on a warm night.
Ranier, so often hidden in clouds, was fully visible from Mercer Island...
In short: it was a lovely trip with improbably glorious weather.
