Soggy in Seattle

Move over, Sleepless in Seattle.  There's now a sequel: Soggy in Seattle,  starring Mr. and Mrs. Austin.


We waited until the rain turned into a light drizzle before venturing out about town this morning. We knew right away from the steady precip that we were gonna skip the Space Needle. Not worth the money to not see anything!


We walked down to the Olympic Sculpture Park and saw some neat things there.


And some unusual things like Japanese cherry blossoms.


And eyes on a naked man in a fountain.  You know,  just artsy stuff.


We could see the harbor and all that activity,  so I liked that.


Introduced hubby to Pike Public Market. Too rainy to lollygag outside. But we got to browse all the indoor vendors...


Including the fish-throwing guys. That's always entertaining. 


Walked by Amazon headquarters. See how they keep their employees in quarantine like the Bubble Boy on Seinfeld. These honestly are Amazon corporate offices in The Spheres. But all employees have been ordered to work at home through end of month. Honestly, after 5 miles of walking around, we only saw 3 people wearing "anti-germ" masks.

On way out of town, we found our way up to Kerry Park, where you can see the whole city below. Again, not the best day for scenery either.



Still pretty sights, though!


Thankfully there's a Starbucks around every other corner for warmth!


On way up to Bellingham, we detoured over to Mukilteo so I could see the lighthouse there.


It was quaint! (And closed to visitors.)


Saw plenty of gulls making themselves at home along the beach!

Got to Bellingham in late afternoon, checked into our hotel, then met Emily and Casey downtown after work.


Soooo great to see them for the first time since July!! Had a great dinner at Bantam 64, and tomorrow will be doing some sightseeing, time to see our grandpup Rey, and some 29th birthday celebration fun.

Crossing fingers for some sun, and no soggy bottom fun!
