More Seattle

Monday and Tuesday I had appointments in Seattle, so I walked around in the sun Monday afternoon. It was cool, but the tourists were out, taking pictures of the space needle. It was topped by a giant “12” flag in blue and green for the Seahawks. I like this picture most, though it doesn’t show the flag, because I like the colors of the mosaic wall with the buildings and grass.

Lit up

I stayed in Seattle Monday night. The city is lit up with excitement about the Seattle Seahawks. I stayed at the MarQueen hotel, which is lovely and old, and went to the coffee shop in the morning. I asked about the lights in the picture: the block next door was lit up blue and green.

“It’s a park,” said the counter woman.

“Is it always lit up?” I asked.

“Oh, it’s blue and green for the Seahawks!”

It was a lovely stay.
