Seattle Adventure Day 2

Good morning, Seattle — this little fox is ready for another round of exploring! I’m taking the train into the city, and since the Seahawks are playing, the park-and-ride is packed with mostly Seahawks fans and one brave Arizona Cardinal fan, but everyone’s in such a cheerful mood that it feels like the whole trip is part of the adventure.  What team does LF root for?  Did you guess we are fans of the Platypus' yep the sports team for those who don't care. 

 

 I spotted more terra cotta animals on my stroll, and this time it’s a proud eagle perched atop the FOE building in Seattle. With its wings spread wide, it feels like it’s keeping a watchful eye over the city — and over explorers like me too.


The FOE, or Fraternal Order of Eagles, started in 1898 in Seattle as a social club for theater folks who wanted to support each other and give back to the community. From those humble beginnings, it grew into a nationwide organization focused on charity, friendship, and civic engagement.

Next stop on my Seattle adventure was Waterfall Park, a tiny hidden oasis where the rush of water makes even a little fox feel mighty. Sitting by the falls, I felt like I’d stumbled onto one of the city’s quiet little treasures.

 Fun fact: this peaceful spot marks the birthplace of United Parcel Service, which started right here in Seattle.

Time for lunch, and there’s nothing better than dim sum in the International District. I have a little secret spot I love — tucked away off the beaten path, with incredible food and run by the friendliest people. First things first, though: let’s start with a warm, comforting pot of tea.
Don't let the decor fool you the food is great.  This is just a little sampling — my roommates devoured everything too fast to really savor it — but wow, this rice roll filled with BBQ pork is cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful in every bite. Even a little fox like me can tell this is dim sum done right. 
I went on one more walking tour and stumbled upon a city park with an amazing view — the kind that makes a little fox pause and just take it all in. Seattle never disappoints, always serving up surprises around every corner.
