Sometimes, taking a ferry and spending a day in the forest and on the beach during a tide-out is a way to vacation. And sometimes doing touristy things is a way to go.
Under the Seattle Needle, there is a wonderful museum and garden filled with the glass sculptures by Dale Chihuly. I enjoyed the vases more than the abstract compositions. Reflections created by black postaments and dramatic lighting were cool :) Looking at the tools and learning a bit about the glass and additions that make colors was interesting. Garden is always fun (this is my third Chihuly exhibit - I saw one in San Francisco and one in Botanical Gardens in New York quite a few years ago). The best part was watching a demo! (and sketching it:)
A visit to Pike's Market, a walk through the underground part of downtown Seattle (aboveground too), and a quick visit to the zoo - before a run to the airport. Seattle is definitely a city on my list to visit again (and soon!)
