Thank God for a good day in Seattle Aug 20-21, 2018 Day 6 and 7 of 7 Hiking and finale!




Hello! Hikes galore! Let's get started!

RattleSnake ridge hike

 


 


 


 


 

 






Spent another day with Gary. Pretty neat hike. We got lost once but finally made it to the top maybe in an hour or so. Nice bird's eye view of the lake. I look fat btw. Anyhow, just be careful because a young teen lost his life here earlier this year. Reports indicated it was a icy terrain at the time, though they say about two hikers die here on avg per year. There is a memorial for the young hiker as you begin the trail.

Thank God for a good day in Seattle Aug 19, 2018 Day 5 of 7 Museums and Marvel madness! (Pics heavy!)


Ventured into Seattle city on my own for this day. Actually, God was with me so I wasn't alone. He kept me safe. Let's get started!

Smith Tower

 


 

Parked close to Space Needle area and yet I walked all the way to, close to, International district to take some shots. I didn't go up but man there was loads of Los Angeles Dodger fans attending the Dodger vs Mariners game. Maybe next time I will go up to explore the observatory.

Seattle Art Museum


 


 


 


 


 






Recommended by Tram. Thanks, it was nice. Mostly indigenous arts but I grew up studying native arts. I really loved the native take on the Storm trooper. The rat statue was awesome as well.

Pike Place and lunch!

 


 


 


 



As you can see, the weather was starting to fog up again. Should had been beautiful skies but we got what we got. I walked around Pike place a bit before settling for lunch at 5 point cafe which is a distance from Pike's but very close to the Space Needle. Good pot roast btw!

Thank God for a good day in Seattle Aug 18, 2018 Day 4 of 7 Day with friends!

Day 4 begins! Let's get started!

Nick!


 


Salt
 


Straw
 


 


Day with Nick, a former Straubie who moved up here now. We went to Ooink for Ramen. Good noodles and we had Salt and Straw afterwards which Seattle apparently has now. I worked out earlier during the day so my shins were hurting. Thank God Nick's apt was close by so we hung around his place, met his dog, and walked around his block for a block party.

The Kent family

A sun sets in Kent
 


 


 


 




Not the actual Kent family from DC comics, but I met up with Tram, Che and their two kids from Kent, WA. We then invited Heath once again with his family to eat at Himalayan Cafe in Renton area. Good food! That was it for the night. Thank you folks for coming out and making this day awesome! Thank you for tuning in and see you for the next day.
