Today the weather was wonderful, record high for this day in
Seattle. We planned to look at the older districts of Seattle today. However
finding a parking space was tricky, not that there were no spaces, but should
we park in them, would we get another ticket? We eventually parked near Pioneer
Square and walked up to Pike St Market, which was very lively, very busy, and
horrendous to navigate with a wheelchair, so that was not a good start for the
day, although I did manage to go and see the Gum Ball wall in Post Alley.
However we then walked back to Pioneer Sq, where we had our
packed lunch in the very tiny, but pretty, Waterfall Garden Park and then
wandered through the Pioneer Sq finishing up at the Gold Mining Museum, which
described the Klondike Gold rush in the Yukon Alaska. A fascinating insight
into this piece of American history. This was a really tough place to get gold,
with very few people actually getting gold out. Well worth the visit. http://www.nps.gov/klse/index.htm.
We then drove back to the hotel for a nap before setting out to the local
Diner, Li’l Jon’s, for a meal. From there we raced towards the Cascades, up I90
to Snoqualmie Falls to watch the sun go down. This was a very pretty place.
