Seattle - Days 1 & 2


Arrived in Seattle 7/30 and met sister Barb and her grandson, Dakota at the RV park. Went to a beach on the sound and dinner.
Next day we all went downtown, first to Pike's Market, an amazing indoor/outdoor market where the shops sell everything you ever wanted.




This band was among the street musicians in the market.







From there, we walked downtown Seattle, and ended up at the Space Needle. A large parade was forming for a celebration they call "Seafair" We had a great time watching the fire companies, horse troops, and floats getting ready. Rode the elevator to the top of the Space Needle - great view of the city.


Next day, Barb's husband Gene joined us and started at the waterfront. These ships are the crab and fishing fleet that is immortalized on "The Deadliest Catch"


We also toured a Native American Center (no pictures allowed), and ended up at Aiki Beach, where Barb lived for a while.
