It so happened that we had to find something to do on a long weekend,
and decided to visit Seattle. Which was nice. We visited most of
the usual tourist attractions: We took the Monorail to the Space Needle
and checked out the views, both day and night. We walked through the
Pike Place Market, but it was already closing down for the day, and we heard
about the Crapper on the Underground Tour. One day we did an excursion to
Redmond, and walked around the Microsoft campus until a security guard
told us to leave. Not that there was anything to see.
The public transportation system is good, one night there was even a
free rap performance on a local bus by the local youth. Unfortunately the
bus driver didn't appreciate it as much and told the guys to "turn that
thing off". The night life was a bit of a disappointment, the downtown
was really quiet at night. Probably we should have gone to some other
neighborhood. There would have been more to see, but we had to leave that
for the next time.
