great picture, i'm new to your blog and have enjoyed reading it. -sounds like the trip is going well, i hope everyone is friendly. i went on vacation solo there last year and had a great time. space needle, public market, excellent indy coffee shops and bakeries, there's a fantastic whole foods market in the U district (company that owns freshn'wild in the UK), the locks are enjoyable and ballard was particularily stunning, sat out on a pier as people set out in their sailboats and sharing a laugh with some elderly asian fellas that were fishing for bait off the pier. here is a link to some nice city walks in the seattle areas -
