Crazy wet. Just rain all the time. Everyone was depressed.

Tech ads are the first thing you see when you land in Seattle.

Depending on which area you're in you get native names for the street signs. They're Vietnamese here but sometimes they're Chinese once you cross an invisible border.

Enjoying some pho in the Vietnamese area.

This place was famous for their clam chowder. But I gotta say, those deep fried salmon tacos were actually way better.

We visited the aquarium. This was my highlight.

At the crab pot you get one of these bibs just to keep things neat. Its pretty messy otherwise.

I found my favourite arcade game! The nostalgia was great.

Korean BBQ!

Korean BBQ was really good at Palmi. Wasn't cheap though.

We did a market tour and was taken around the Pike Place Markets. Each of these pig sculptures has its own name.

Us on the rooftop of the markets.

Products at a smoke shop. Its legal here.

I attended a JS meetup at KEXP, a radio station. This place was actually really impressive, its a "gathering place", sort of a co-working space but they don't charge you stupid amounts of money.

Went electric cycling around for awhile. Here were a bunch of 4chan anonymous people protesting... something.

I visited the bottom of the space needle.

Grabbed a "Seattle Dog". Which is actually a hot dog with LOTS of cream cheese. Its a lot tastier than it looks!

First place that doesn't ask for tips. The owner is doing the right thing for once!

Mmm massaman curry from a Thai restaurant.

Of course I get massaman and Steph gets larb.

Purikura so we remember the moment, blemish free.
