After leaving Vancouver, it was a mere 2 hour drive south to Everett, a city just outside Seattle. The state campground was filled with large moss covered trees and was situated on a beautiful lake. The day we arrived, the sky was dark and rain was sporadic. We were one of only a handful of Rvs, evidence the season was coming to a close. We were invited over for dinner to my friend, Suzanne’s house. I have known Suzanne for more than 20 years and I have watched (through yearly holiday letters) each of her three children grow up. It was really neat to see her wonderful family in person after all these years!
We awoke Wednesday morning to bright skies, much to our delight. When we visited Seattle last July en route to Alaska, we had a nice sunny day and we couldn’t believe our luck to have sun two visits in a row. We made a quick stop at the post office to pick up our mail (all our mail gets forwarded to Seattle since we are essentially nomads) and then on to Pike’s Place. Always a great foodie stop and we ate our yummy lunches overlooking Puget Sound. We then hopped on the monorail to the famous Space Needle. The girls and I see this landmark at the start of every Grey’s Anatomy and here we were, about to venture up the top! It was great fun and the view was stunning. We all love to toy with the idea of living in Seattle one day as it really is a great city. We just can’t decide if we could deal with the weather as we are sun lovers and, while we love rainy days, we appreciate them only upon occasion. Who knows!
