2014 SEATTLE, WA SEPT 3

Today since we had a car we took the ferry to Seattle, the car and us cost $15 and took about an hour from Bremington. After getting off we drove along the sound to the Seattle Needle park only a couple of miles.

Parking is expensive in Seattle, the first time was $12 for the park. Dena went up the Needle but I did not want to pay $19 to feel bad.

Afterward, we back down to the PIKES MARKET on the water front. Everything is for sale, fish, flowers, seafood etc, but one of our interest is the first STARBUCKS store is here.

We found the store and it was mobbed and did not want to stand in line at this time. We enjoyed strolling around the market.

We thought we would drive to the coast. We started and got as far as Aberdeen.  This was not and area we liked so decided to turn back.
We stopped in Olympia, the state capital, and found a very nice restraurant along the water front and had dinner.

On the way back up I5 we got good views of Mr Rainier because the sun was lower, got back to camp about 8 PM.
