Hello, Seattle

We spent a day walking around downtown Seattle and seeing what was there. It did not disappoint that's for sure! It was beautiful, fun and definitely has its own atmosphere. From the fun fountains to the gum wall, downtown Seattle sure has lots of character! 


 Seattle has all kinds of different sculptures and art pieces all over the streets. They are pretty fun and interesting, stuff we don't normally see anyway!


 This guy's arm actually moved! It was cool.

There was this cool fountain down by the space needle that would spit water out in sync with the music that was playing. It was so fun to watch the kids play in it! 
Next we went to Pike's Place! The sign behind us says Public Market and is right about Pike's Place!


We saw them throw the fish! I was so excited to see it and we saw them throw a couple! This picture was right after the guy in the orange apron threw the fish!! Love the flying fish :)



This is the famous gum wall! Seriously, the wall comes out like an inch wider at the bottom because of all of the gum haha. People were asked to prom with gum, phone numbers, whatever you can think of. 




Then we went to the space needle! It was really cool to see and we walked around. We didn't go up yet, but we will before the summer is over! 
I was so confused because I  had always thought that the space needle was so much taller than the other buildings in Seattle. That is not true.... The other buildings are way taller haha. I was disappointed and didn't understand how the pictures always made it stand out so Rusty took me to this park with a GREAT view of the space needle. This is where all those pictures are taken.... My life makes sense again :)

  1. FUN! I've only been to Seattle a few times, I love it there though. Looks like you guys got some good weather too :) I love what you wrote about the space needle, I always thought it was taller too - then I saw it and was like "what the..."
    Make sure and do some hiking while you're up in that area if you have time for it!
