In Port Townsend we are restricted to about three good coffee shops within a kilometer of the harbour. We wanted to get a little more choice so we headed to Seattle the home of Starbucks, with the highest high end coffee shop saturation on the planet.
Two buses, one ferry, two and a half hours and two dollars and we arrived in downtown Seattle. The weather was dry but cold, a wet cold not the namby-pamby dry cold in the Yukon which everyone knows is not cold at all.
We had no clear plan, so we walked up to the space needle which was having a space lift. We chose not to pay the twenty dollars to see the view. Nearby was the Chihuly Garden of Glass. If I was by myself I would have given this a by and gone to a Ship Chandlers. Much to my surprise the Garden was spectacular. This guy Chihuly employs at least fifty people at the Garden. Wikipedia says that he had sold 29 million dollars worth of glass art as of 2009. Anyways here are a few pics taken with my smart phone. None of them do it justice. But you can get a bit of an idea what it is like.
