Before Wanderer went to Seattle, which is
voted the best 10 cities for living in the U.S., my friend told me it rained a
lot in October and November. When I was in Seattle, I found Seattle was not
only a rainy city, but also a cloudy city. However, I couldn’t complain about
this anymore because the weekend when I was in Seattle, it only rained in the
first day. I think I was lucky because I had two beautiful days on that
weekend.

The
Seattle Airport Actually, I lost my way a period of time
here. (photo by Wanderer)

Seattle is a very beautiful city, and
other area around Seattle, too. There are a great of beautiful flowers in the
summer, and many places for thousands of people to go skiing in the winter.
However, wanderer only stayed in town, I will talk about some very famous
places in Seattle. I mean those places where every visitor should go.

The
Seattle Central Library This building is so much style, and it is
very close to my hotel… haha.. (photo by
Wanderer)

The Pike Place Market
is a well-known farmer market. It was built in 1907, more than one hundred
years!! People can find a lot of fresh fish, fruit, and product here. Many
famous restaurants and stores can also be found here, including the first
Starbucks, the Pike Place Chowder, and fly fish show!! If you want to know this
market more, you can join the food tour. You will know more history and eat
more kinds of food in 2 hours. You can book in this website: http://www.savorseattletours.com

The
first Starbucks This Starbucks is the original one but not
located on the original place. The original place was in the Pike Place Market.
However, it doesn’t matter that where it is, thousands of Starbucks fans come
here and order a cup of coffee to finish their hope. (photo by Wanderer)

The
mugs Yes, if you are a crazy mug collector, you
may need a car.
|
 |
The
Pike Place Chowder This is a 16 o.z. one. When I was there on
12:30, the bread bowl was sold out!!! It would be cuter~~ Orz (photo by Wanderer)
 |
The Pike Place Chowder This restaurant has gotten many dishes… no.. awards from 1990s. (photo by Wanderer)
|
|
Fly
fish show The original reason is that there were only
2 person working here at that time, so they needed fish to be able to fly from
one to the other. (photo by Wanderer)
 |
The
Golden Pig Maybe this is its main foundation (all
wrong~~~). The purpose is for people to donate. (photo by Wanderer)

The
Golden Pigs on the roof You know… X’mas is coming~~~~~(photo by Wanderer)

The
Boeing Company, one of the biggest airplane factories, is located on Seattle. When
Wanderer was a kid, I have heard that elders talked about how huge the Boeing
747 was. When I saw the 747 in the factory, it was really pretty huge, haha. If
you ask me how to book the Boeing tour, I will tell you the easiest way is to
ask you hotel to book it. Actually, I booked the tour for one minute after I
checked in my hotel. The bus will drive to your hotel to pick you up. It’s
pretty easy!!!

The Boeing Company If I don’t say anything, this looks like an
airport. Actually, there is really an airport here. (photo by Wanderer)

 |
Taiwan
National flag Someone says if Boeing hangs the National
flag in their company, it means that company has bought more than 100 airplanes!!!

The
Washington University is another highlight in Seattle. We can find many
historical buildings in the campus. You will feel like that you are in Europe.
It is very easy to go to WU, even though WU is 4 miles from downtown, just take
the buses 71, 72, and 73.

WU campus This
is really like in another country. (photo

but I don’t know. (photo by Wanderer)

The
Space Needle, built for the 1962 World’s Fair, is the well-known landmark in
Seattle. It is located on Seattle center, but not center of Seattle, J. So…I will recommend you to go the top
of the Space Needle in the evening because you can see the day view, sunset,
and night view of Seattle. The other way to see the view of Seattle is to go to
the Kelly Park. You can go there by bus ( 2 & 13 ). The Kelly Park is one
of the best places that can take skyline of Seattle photos.

Skyline
of Seattle The Kelly Park is a very small park, but
there is the one of greatest views in Seattle. (photo by Wanderer)

Maybe I should come back
this city again in summer and then I think I will know why people always say
Seattle is a beautiful city in four seasons.
