Seattle


We had limited time in Seattle although we really enjoyed the time we spent here. Driving out of Seattle is a beautiful sight with the forests & snow capped mountains then lots of recreational parks & lakes (reminds me of the typical 'summer holiday at the lake' that you see in the movies). Whilst in Seattle we wandered down to Pike St to visit the markets as well as visiting the original Starbucks Store - quite different to the Starbucks we all know today. Also spent some time looking at the local supermarkets & pharmacies. I know everyone says it but pharmacies in the US are just incredible to see - almost like a Big W or Kmart with a tiny little dispensary in the corner - sell everything from confectionery, stationary, frozen foods & cigarettes! The waterfront at Seattle wasn't much to see but we did enjoy a lazy afternoon at a funky little wine & pizza bar we found down a dark lane way off Pike St. Unfortunately didn't run into Patrick Dempsey on our travels!!!
