| Seattle Great Wheel at Miners Landing |
I've always been intrigued by depictions of Seattle in movies and
TV shows. Something about the breathtaking natural scenery, casual lifestyle
and plentiful seafood has always piqued my interest. So I was excited to
finally have a chance to visit this fall when my organization hosted a
roundtable event there.
I was in town less
than 48 hours and most of the time was spent in team meetings and the event,
but I chose to take an early flight so I could explore a little before we got
started. With only about three hours to spare I decided to walk around the
waterfront, thru the aquarium and around downtown. I was lucky to be there on a
sunny fall day, which I hear is rare in Washington. In fact, everyone was
smiling and seemed to have an extra burst of energy courtesy of the sunshine.

Seattle seems like a great city. I especially enjoyed Walking thru the historic
Pike Place Market with its unique shops including the famous Pikes Place Fish Market. I went back
with a friend/coworker the next day so she could get smoked salmon and we
walked thru the marketplace a little further. We enjoyed walking by the kiosks
of fresh flowers and even purchased chocolate-flavored dry pasta from Pappardelle’s Pasta.

I think we got a truer taste of Seattle the second day with
continuous rain and cloudy skies, but I guess, in a way, that shapes the
personality of the city. The frequent dreary weather makes people especially
appreciate the nice days.
Experience #23 was just a glimpse of the city, but I look forward
to retur
