Hi! It's Raegan and in January we went to Seattle to visit friends. We flew on Airtran Airways from Washington Dulles to Seattle. We visited Pike Place Market and looked through litttle shops, crafts booths, flower markets and the famous fish markets. We had lunch at a restaurant called Crab Pot. They covered our table with brown butcher paper, put bibs on us and dumped two huge pots of shrimp, crab legs and other shell fish, potatoes and small ears of corn on the cob right on the table! We stuffed ourselves! This was a really neat restaurant not to be missed if you're ever in Seattle. The next day we took the Argosy Locks Cruise through Lake Union and saw the boat house from "Sleepless in Seattle". Then we went through the locks and into Puget Sound. We saw huge icebreaker boats from Alaska in drydock so you could see the blades that break up the ice. That was very interesting. We also saw sea lions. Our cruise ended at Pier 56 with amazing views of the Seattle skyline. Next we went to the top of the Space Needle. We went in late afternoon and stayed until dusk. The views were magnificent! That night we ate at a very beautiful restaurant called Ray's. The food was great and the ambiance was unmatched. We had a wonderful time with our friends enjoying this beautiful city. We plan to go back soon.
