Seattle is called the “emerald city” because of how green it is. Trees and shrubbery are everywhere. Plants overhang highways and even store logos have a certain pistachio green in them (which is a very popular color right now).
We spent the Fourth of July there on someone’s rooftop that overlooked the entire city and river. The fireworks were an extremely impressive sight what with the atmosphere, nice weather and cityscape behind them.
What I like about Seattle:
1. The weather. It doesn’t get too hot or too cold.
2. The neighborhoods. It seems like there’s always something to do and something different to see.
3. Mostly everything is within walking distance. If not, public transportation is available. Try not to drive, finding parking is very difficult.
4. Interesting shops and restaurants.
5. The city view at night is very pretty.
6. From what I can tell, the people are pretty friendly.
On our last day in Seattle we all took a trip up to Vancouver. We only spent 4 or so hours there so we couldn’t get a god idea on how we felt about that city but it does seem cool. We ate at this little hotdog stand called Japadogs (Anthony Bourdain went there on his show No Reservations and that’s how we got the idea) where they made hotdogs with teriyaki sauce and other Japanese elements. They were delicious. Go try one if you’re ever in Vancouver.
Next up on the trip will be Portland, Oregon.

I got to watch them from my roof in the Ballard part of Seattle. Really amazing show
I have no idea where we were but there were a bunch of people on their roofs. All white building with clear balconies...I forget what it was called.
