I love Seattle!

Ever since I was a kid, I have always loved my city.  Growing up 10 miles outside a small college town, in the country, next to farms, was really great.  But I have always been drawn to the energy of a city, being around people, being in a neighborhood with sidewalks, people walking their dogs, parks within walking distance, neighbor shops/restaurants, etc..etc..  My mom grew up in Tacoma, much bigger than Corvallis.  We would come up to Tacoma many times each year to visit my grandparents and other relatives.  I especially loved it when we would come to Seattle, which wasn't too often.  I loved seeing the tall buildings, all the cars, I-5 with all it's lanes, the water, boats everywhere, etc... etc...  I always knew one day I would live here.  And now I've been here a little over 10 years and still loving it. 

Today, another sunny spring day, I'm off to downtown via the Water Taxi, which I love riding on.  The water taxi runs from West Seattle to our waterfront, across Elliott Bay.  Such a fun way to get around. I'm going to be a tourist in my city, which I love.  Snooping around the Harbor Steps shops, Pike Place (people watching is the best), the waterfront, taking pictures..... a great way to enjoy a sunny day in the city.
