Seattle 2003
	The first Starbucks Coffee Shop. It was small, but they made me a mean double espresso with chocolate. They’re the only store in the chain that can display the original logo: an anatomically correct siren with twin tail.
	One of the many float planes that ferry people in and out of Seattle. It was a trip to see them take off and land on the water.
Jimi Hendrix statue, a native son of the area, near the corner of Broadway and Pine St.
Hendrix’s tombstone. He and the stone were moved from a simple grave to the Jimi Hendrix & the Hendrix Family Monument that is under construction in the same cemetery.
	The farmers market, just off of First Street. This is a must see when you’re in Seattle, fresh food and flowers, shops in the lower levels and a very cool Irish musical instrument shop just down the street.
	Farmers markets all over the US have pig statues. This particular pig is well loved and touched often as one can see from his shinny coat.
	Sidewalk musicians are everywhere in the city. This duo was playing bluegrass with a banjo and a washtub base. They actually sounded really good.
	A shot of some of the flowers found in the market any day of the week.
Seattle has a whole other city under the streets and side walks. The Underground is also a huge tourist attraction. Pictured is the view up through one of the skylights. The purple color is from the types of metals in the glass. Over time it turns the glass from clear to purple.
A Street-level view of the same skylight as pictured above.
	The native totem pole erected in Pioneer Square
	The line to go up into the space needle was entirely too long, so I took a shot from the ground.
Seattle skyline from the water. I was a wonderful day and you could see all the way to the summit of Mt. Rainer.
	The sailboat that I toured Lake Washington on.
	A skin covered native Umiak at the Wooden Boat Heritage Center, a must go for any visit to the city. Used by indians of the Pacific North West as a boat for hunting large game (whales) once upon a time.
	The split bow of a native inspired skin kayak also at Wooden Boat Heritage Center.
Bruce and Brandon Lee’s graves in Lake view cemetery. An often-visited spot.
	The front door of the flagship store to my favorite adult toy store in the whole-wide world: REI. The handles are made of mountaineering axes. There is a mini museum, rock wall, and gear testing area inside and biking/hiking trails out in front. The store has its own restaurant and parking garage. I could spend so much cash there!!
