I first visited Seattle when my parents took the fam to the 1962 World’s Fair. Been one of my favorite cities ever since. You gotta love water and boats and rain, though.
I do.
The Carlisle II is the oldest (built 1917) foot ferry boat still operating around Puget Sound. The $2 ride takes you from Port Orchard to Bremerton. Or back. People still use it as part of their regular commute.
As a kid, sitting in this same spot, I imagined I was looking up into some Jetson-like future. Now, it’s fun to sit there and look back to the future.
And food! Water, boats, and food. Seattle’s a foodie town, too! No better place to eat or pick up all the makings for something delicious.
The original Starbucks… where you can wait in line for over an hour for the privilege of purchasing an overpriced coffee in the place that originated overpriced coffee.
