Contrary to what you might think, other than the 99N oopsies, Seattle was a fine time. The people there were great, and I finally had a chance to check out the Fremont district.
Boy, they ought to send the SJ city development people up there, point it out, and say "This! This is what you want to do!" Lots of amazingly cool restaurants and shops and such, all within a very short walk of the office buildings. And it works--you see lots of people out at lunch and at dinner, even with the weather the way it was. Hey--you have rain gear, right? And being right on the edge of Lake Union is just really, really nice.
And the seafood--amazing. Even as much as they tout the seafood in the Bay Area, the stuff in Seattle is in another class entirely. I could have spent a week there and not even began to get tired of it.
So, yeah, I'm looking forward to my next trip up there in January. It's definitely a place I can get used to being there.
