Downtown Seattle today. We started the day with a ferry ride from Bainbridge Island to Pier 52. The beginning of an exciting day of sightseeing.
Seagull eating a starfish for breakfast!
Pioneer Square Park, topped by an ornate pergola, site of the oldest settlement in Seattle
Tingit totem pole from 1899
Seattle Underground subterranean passages that were once the main first floor storefronts of old Seattle!
Small panes of clear glass as seen from below. Street level glass is amethyst-colored due to the manganese in the glass.

Smith Tower (Seattle's first Skyscraper) opened in 1914. The tallest building west of the Mississippi for over 50 years.
Inside the Smith Tower 32nd floor. I was sitting in the 300 year old wishing chair (which portends marriage within 1 year) that was part of the decor from the last empress of China in 1914.
View of the Century Link and Safeco fields from Smith Tower.

Very pretty falls in the middle of the city.
The fallen Firefighter's Memorial
More Totem Poles in Occidental Mall
We spotted Sasquatch with wood in Pike's Market!
Pike's famous Fish Market was always busy
Had our fortune read by Madam X, and we are still waiting for that rich relative to die and leave us money.
The Market Theatre Gum Wall. Local land mark that is several inches thick, 15ft high and 50 ft wide (discusting)
Two blocks of beautiful flowers and for $10.00 we made Leslie happy! Something that Jeff (husband) is still trying to do.
