Ahh Seattle. The whole town smells like coffee and the sea. I always enjoy Seattle, despite the weather. It was rainy and chilly the whole week I was there (as usual) but I couldn't let that stop my wanderings. I went to Pike's Market, one of the best farmer/artisan markets in the country nearly everyday.
Pike's has fresh flowers, fresh fish, fresh vegetables, fresh, fresh, fresh...you get the idea. One day I got some smoked salmon and a rosemary olive oil boule. Another day I got a whole dungeness crab that they'll crack for you so you can take it back to your hotel and have a feast. Delicious! If I had been in the mood for BBQ I could have found it at this rolling vendor.
I had an adventure on the city bus one day. Never in all my times in Seattle had I gone to see the Fremont Troll and I needed to rectify that situation. As it was a rainy day, it wasn't worth renting a bicycle, so the bus it was. The Freemont Troll lives under a bridge in the Freemont section of town.
He was designed and built in the early 90 by 4 artists. It is approximately 18 feet tall and is holding an actual VW bug in his left hand.

Unfortunately it was all too soon before I had to head back to downtown to go to work.
