I don't get to Seattle as much as I used to, not since having my daughter nearly 3 years ago. But I do go once a year with my mom. This time I brought my camera and I was glad I did.
(It was so cold that there were plumes of steam all over town.)
The mistaken belief is that it is always raining here. Sure, it does rain, but when the sun is out, I dare you to find a more beautiful place. My favorite is a cold winter day, with bright sun - which is what we got in Seattle this time. Enjoy.
