We touched down at the Seattle-Tacoma airport Monday at noon, rented a car, and sped off into the downtown madness under unusually sunny skies and 85 degree weather. The first stop on our list was Pike's Place Market; tulip gardens, fish throwing, crazy hippies, and delicious street food - check, check, and check! From there we ran off to Harbor Steps and set appointments for multiple apartment viewings throughout the week - it's official, Seattle will be our new home! We met up with Kyle's friend Christophe and enjoyed dinner at Ray's Boathouse near Golden Gardens Park. During our stay, we crashed at Francis and Ry's new place, a short 25 minute drive South of downtown.



The next few days were more fun and exciting then we could have anticipated. Kyle got signed by the Seattle Models Guild, and even managed to sneak in a casting. We bought Seattle City Passes for $69, giving us access to the Seattle Aquarium, Argosy Harbor Tour, EMP Museum, the Pacific Science Center with IMAX show, the Woodland Park Zoo and the top of the Space Needle both during the day and at night! We were lucky enough to be given tickets to SAM, the Seattle Art Museum, and we did Bill Speidel's Underground Tour for adults (the Underworld Tour).












Between all the touristy attractions we had enough time to dig for clams at Francis and Ry's, share a delicious clam dinner, play Cards Against Humanity and enjoy some amazing drinks and sashimi at Umis on First Ave. All while touring multiple apartments trying to find a place to live come this fall :)




Seattle was BEAUTIFUL during our five day stay, we only saw ten minutes of rain Thursday evening, which leads us to ask ourselves, "where is this place that lives under rainy and overcast skies?"... We believe the threats of bad weather must be a ploy by the Seattleites to keep their city to themselves - and we don't blame them!
