The Famous Space Needle

What an exciting place. I went to Pikes Market, took in the Space Needle, Puget Sound, Jimi Hendrix grave (yes, I drove to a small town called Renton, WA where he is buried). It's a nice structure where he's buried.. I wish it had been a nice day so I could have seen Mt. Renier but on my final day in Seattle, I could see it off in the distance.

The Pier

I ate at an awesome restaurant on the pier called "Anthony's Pier 66" where I had their Hawaiian Ahi. I guess that's a cool sounding name for tuna.

Safeco Field

I toured Safeco Field where The Mariners play. I couldn't get tickets to any games because every game was sold out but the tour of the stadium was nice.

    Still smiling about the "Jimi Hendrix" episode. Never been to Seattle but your photos and narrative are enticing. Thanks, Greg.

    Neat slice of Seattle, Greg! Interesting to read about the Starbuck's at a gas station, 1000 bats artifact and those toilet paper designs. I just might have accepted that offer to get stoned with Jimi ... nice of the kids to have asked though *LOL*

    Did you see any of the flying fish at Pike's Market? Nice composite shot of the Space Needle!

    Nice page on the Emerald City. Of course someone offered to smoke with you in the Northwest - it's the Northwest :-)
