Emerald of the Pacific Northwest

Seattle is one of those cities that ends up on everyone's list of "Best Places" and with good reason. It's difficult not to find yourself walking around with a smile on your face. Sure the gloomsters love to talk about "Boeing blues" or ".com bubbles" but the city seems vibrant and on the move.

This was my fourth trip to Seattle, but my first as a Virtual Tourist. My "real" reason for making this cross country trip was to accompany my son while he reconnoitered his soon to be new home in the Pacific Northwest. For one of the first times in my life I really had no responsibilities in this mission aside from companionship and the occasional meal ticket. This gave me plenty of time to reflect on what I saw and what I would remember.

So as is usual for me, you will probably not find my Seattle page packed with a lot of facts and figures (though I will try). Rather mostly you will find my impressions and my recommendations as a visitor to this exciting and alluring city.

 Wonderful pictures and excellent tips - Seattles seems to be such a scenic place. I don't think I want to be Frank Gehry's fan either.

 Wow! What a skyline. Pity that it`s maybe too far away for me to take a visit, but it must be a great place.
