Cutters Crabhouse - Fresh Market Seafood

Cutters has a van that will pick up at the hotel and bring downtown to their restaurant.  This is was my last night in Seattle and I wanted seafood.  This is me after the great scallops.  I ended the meal with a chocolate soufflé.  It was also great.  I am off on the cruise today.

Pike Street Market, Seattle, WA

Pike Street Market is down near the waterfront.  I took the monorail to downtown and walked the rest of the way.  This is a really fun place to visit.

The man in the picture was doing tricks with his parrot.  The parrot is 16 years old and can live to 65.  He said they have been coming to the market for 16 years.  Unlike most people performing there was no tip container in site.

Inside there were stalls and stalls of gorgeous flowers.  I would love to have purchased some but what do you do with them in a hotel room?

All this sea food and no place to cook!  There were several other places like this one.  I got a picture of someone else taking a picture.

Bahn Thai is up the street from the hotel and where I ate Friday night.

Space Needle

View from Space Needle.  Everything I went to today was in the same area.  The Space Needle was a must stop and my last stop.

There is a sea plane landing in this picture.

You can see Mount Rainier through the haze.  It is very faint in the background.  I visited there when I was here last.  It is an active volcano and if it erupts Seattle is in trouble.  

 This group was playing outside the Space Needle.

Glass House and Chihuly Garden Exhibit

Display in the Glass House

This is the only piece that is not hand blown glass.  It is a molded plastic.

One of the garden displays.  They are tough enough to stand the weather outside.

Some are easy to see.

Some are really large.

And some are almost hidden.

There are a whole group hanging from the ceiling as you leave the display.

These two show up when you are outside the garden.
