Seattle Day 2 and 3.

Good Morning World.  Little Fox here at the International District in Seattle.  The Smith Tower in the background and this cool dragon on the power pole. 
The large gate welcomes you to the International District.  The gate has been up and running since 1999. The Portland gate has been open since 1984 and the San Francisco gate has been up since the 60s.
This fox is hungry  I think I am going to pass on the squid hot dog but definitely going to try the pastries. 

Now that I'm fortified (also got some Dim Sum) and it's time to explore more of the city.  On my way to Pike Place Market I stopped at the remodeled King Street Station (Seattle's Amtrak Station). 
Yipee, the train station is remodeled to it's grandeur.  Back in the 1940s and 1950s they put acoustic tiles to mitigate sound and had less than original seating.  
Onward. I found a cool location to stop and enjoy the view (and got a pear biscuit for breakfast tomorrow).
Pike Place Market was packed (shocker....) so no pictures for me.  Time to get back on the light rail back to my place.

My final day in Seattle actually was in Olympia.  To escape the wet weather we decided to explore Olympia (even though the original plan was Seattle).  Found this cool toy to play on. 
Onward Little Fox.

  1. Squid hotdog? I think I'll pass on that too. Did you go to the original Starbucks in Pike Place?? And who would desecrate a train station with acoustic tiles? Sacrilege!
