June 7~8
The drive to Seattle involves some very steep climbs, but Tor makes it just fine and there are many striking views.
Staying at the closest place I can find to the city.... Lake Pleasant RV Resort in Bothell (website seems to only be accessible through Woodall's)....it's a decent mid-tier place...we get a site with a pretty good view.
.
There are ducks, geese and assorted water fowl everywhere. Rick is having a great time with the camera. Neither of us have ever seen a bird's nest floating on the water....not sure what type of bird it is...Rick thinks it's a coot.
Pike Place Public Market
This market has been continually open for business since 1907 making the longest running market in the country. Today there are over 200 vendors and it is not only about the products..it's pure theatrics! The young men that staff the biggest fish stand are charmers. And you better have good reflexes because all of sudden one of them may shout "low flying fish" and a 20 pound salmon comes flying over the counter.
It's Dungeness crab season.
The produce is gorgeous.
And they're serious about not handling their product!
The flowers are stunning and wonderfully priced.
Very frankly it's more entertainment than fabulous food.....we bought some mussels and shrimp to grill that evening and we're very disappointed in both....but it's fun and a "have to do".
Think we'll stay at least a few days...seemingly lots to do and we're in the mood to sit still for a bit.
