Seattle is a bit sprawly. We got here on friday and spent all day saturday walking around downtown and the water front with some of the hills thrown in. Probably about 10 miles total. Good workout after eating a dozen doughnuts among the two of us in Portland. We also went to the experience music project which seems like a bit of a shrine to Jimi Hendrix. Paul Allen is a very rich guy. When you can create a shrine to your favorite musical artists and charge money for people to see it, you're probably financially independent.

We're staying with our cousin Joelle who recently moved into a new place near the Fremont District just north of downtown. Feels much like the east bay, perhaps it's the bigger than life statue of Lenin...

Yesterday was beautiful weather and today is a bit more of what you might expect in the northwest, overcast, rainy and a bit gray. We'll probably visit Bainbridge island today and perhaps wander a bit around the Fremont district. Lots of good eateries and whatnot. The plan this evening is to make chili with Joelle and family and hang out a bit at her new place.
