The new football and baseball stadiums Baseball / Basketball Review

I hated the Kingdome (artificial turf, too small, old & noisy) and don't miss it at all.

Seattle blew up the Kingdome

and they have built 2 state-of-the-art stadiums practically right next to each other in lower downtown / Pioneer square and waterfront area.

Both are classy and nice looking.

With Seattle traffic though, I am curious what it is like in mid September on days when the both the Seahawks and the Mariners have home games.

Does this happen? If it does can anybody get in or out of downtown?

Sailing Kayaking / Canoeing / Boating / Sailing Review

If you go out on a small boat, go with someone who knows what they're doin'..... when / if the wind & waves come up & the water gets a little choppy it will possibly freak out any landlubbers (like me) among you.

But man is it beautiful.

Took this on a sunny mid-morning from my hotel room window. A small vessel slowly motoring without sail west across Elliott Bay toward Puget Sound with the Olympic mountain range in the deep background.
