Well, we knew we were in Seattle because the rain started. It's a little cool here - enough to use the heat at night. Picked up Barbie and Uncle Petey from Seattle Airport,
and proceeded immediately to the waterfront Salty's Seafood Restaurant in Redondo Beach, just south of the airport. This is our absolute favorite place to eat in Seattle - there's another Salty's in the city, where you can see the Seattle Space Needle in the skyline, and seals in the bay.
We feasted on delicious fried calamari and incredible lump dungenous crabcakes for the appetizers, and for the main courses: fresh halibut and dungenous crab cioppino.
The next day, we took a ferry ride to the Olympic Peninsula, stopping at Port Gamble to check out the shops.
Logging is still very active in this area, and we passed this "holding area" on our way up the peninsula.
Thought we could see the Makah Indian Tribe Annual Celebration, but never got the exact address, and soon found out it was 3-4 hours away. No time to do that today. Came back to the mainland, and saw the Space Needle, and very surprised that its only about 300 feet tall - thought it was much higher.
Had another outstanding seafood dinner of sturgeon and dungy crabcakes on the waterfront, at Ray's Boathouse.
Tomorrow, we drive north yet again, and for the last time - to Vancouver and Victoria.
