Here’s a flashback post on our recent trip to Seattle, WA. I was very excited to go to Seattle, having heard stories of the city being a haven for vegans and anyone who has a predilection for unique music, keeping in mind all the artists that hail from Seattle such as Chris Cornell and Nirvana. Upon leaving for Vancouver, however, I felt disappointed. We had been running around trying to find at least one vegan restaurant downtown but without success and, later, I learnt that supposedly the place to be is King’s Hill (or something like that, the name of the area escapes my mind for the moment) which we had no clue about. Next time, I guess… At any rate, we hit up the Experimental Music Project which is supposed to be an awesome museum-like place but unfortunately they had closed at 5 pm (!), which we thought was a little early. Listless with nothing to do, we decided to hit up the Space Needle so we at least could say that we’d done something during our one day visit. We went up to the observation deck 160 metres above the ground and it felt almost ridiculous after having been up in the Empire State Building just a couple of weeks before that, where we were leaning on the ledge some 380 metres above the ground. Moreover, it was swaying a lot. Whatever they say to you to calm you, it does sway!
I guess I might have to go back to Seattle to find the gems, but as I feel right now I’m not too keen on going back for a while. I rather go back to Portland. At least our hotel room was awesome.
