Fun in Seattle

The weather gods were kind to us when we descended upon Seattle. Stepping into downtown Seattle, it looked like a clean, nice smelling version of San Francisco. But....

Some lies about Seattle
1) Seattle is just as diverse as SF. NO. This is not true.
2) Good food in Seattle. Not as good as the Bay. Except Salumis.
3) Seattle is the first to recover from the recession. I don't know how many empty condos/homes I saw. Condo auctions were not a rare sighting.
4) Crab cakes at Dahlias is one of the best things I ever ate. Giada you lie! Tiny crab cakes are not the best thing I ever ate. Not even close.
5) Space needle. Blah, not a sight to see. Go see the CN Tower in Toronto, it's much more impressive.

Good things about Seattle
1) Erica, my only friend in Seattle
2) Salumis
3) Underground tour
4) Public Market - but the Ferry building in SF is better
5) Everything is pretty walkable
6) Piroshky, Piroshky
7) Coffee!
8) Troll under the Bridge.
9) West Seattle, nicer version of Alameda.
