I had a recent trip with the BYU mens lacrosse team to Seattle, Washington for some games a week or so ago. Let me start by saying as much as I love Denver and hope to someday live there again, Seattle might be right up there in places I would absolutely love to live. It is beautiful! Yes it rains, a lot, I understand that, however if you are a Colorado native and love the mountains and love rain then this may just be a good place to go… Outside the city reminds me of Silverthorne, Colorado with much much bigger pine trees, more water (both on the ground and in the sky), and much greener. Not to mention more people, a big city twenty minutes away, and the ocean hours away. It is sounding like a fun place to end up for a couple years..
We had a few hours to wander the Pike Place market while we were there, it was fun to see how different it is then Utah (and even Colorado for that matter.) Of course I have seen little marketplaces here and there with fruit and vegetables but nothing like this where they are literally bringing fresh fish in from the ocean right then and there. I love seafood, and we dined at this tiny little restaurant that had some awesome fish and chips we found tucked back in the market. What a great change of scenery!
Oh and for those that just might be interested in the lacrosse photos done while I was there, you may view them here!
