The Daily Moosic: Downtown Seattle Later that Day (Aug. 12, 2012)

I loved seeing the Grave sites of Bruce Lee and Jimi Hendrix, but probably my fave part of Seattle was Pikes Market Place! It was so much fun. We needed more time to explore though. We had to be back to Spokane by that evening so we only had about 4/5 hours downtown. We sure had lots of fun though. The market place kinda reminded us of years ago when we visited the Baltimore Inner Harbor. It almost feels like you are in a different country. People of all cultures and places, speaking different languages etc... Not to mention a lot of neat things to look at and buy. But I must mention the flowers!! The flowers in this place are phenomenal, and they are fairly cheap considering how much flowers cost now days!! We visited the wall of gum, (yucky, but cool!), the guy at the information booth was a real crack up too, seen lots of stores, people playing music, etc.... We also got to see the very 1st Starbucks!! The one where the logo still has the mermaid girl showing her boobs! There was a pretty neat kinda rock-a-billy / folk musicians playing right in front of Starbucks. They were really good. The guy was playing a washboard with a spoon, pretty cool! We didn't go in though because the line was out of control!! The seafood market was also out of this world!! It was just like what you would see in a movie! The fish / shellfish were HUGE! Lobsters that were huge! I told Josh that if we lived in Seattle, that I would go to the market everyday for fresh meat / fish & veggies!! Oh yeah, and fresh flowers every time the old bouquet died!! Here are a few pictures! : )
