"Pretty City" a Seattle Travel Page by csistok

Before visiting either Seattle or Vancouver, I'd heard people make comparisons between the two. Now that I've seen them both, I can say they share some similarities (shiny buildings with cool tops), but Seattle has a lot more character and a lot more life. I loved the old, historic buildings, not just the ones in Pioneer Square but also the ones you find tucked away in the back streets. And there just seemed to be more soul to this city, too. A pianist striking a chord on one corner, a 3-piece jazz band jamming on another, and everywhere both locals and visitors soaking up the sun (yes! it was sunny when I was there).
