Seattle
Puget Sound. Lewis and Clark. Gold Rush. Sleepless in Seattle.
Amazing city with fabulous history. The history of how the city was constructed, wiped out, then rebuilt---twice, at two different levels---is really fabulous. I know that we all wonder how we’d survive without our mobile phones, computers, etc., but being a pioneer back in the day must have been a surreal experience, not like the techie pioneers of today.
What shocked me the most about Seattle? The hills. I thought that I was in San Francisco with all the ups-and-downs. Great though, if you are on an exercise-oriented exploration walk.
