Friday my son spent the afternoon and evening bulldozed by some virus. Yesterday the wretched microbes fought with my wife. Last night they came for me. Today’s itinerary thus changed to drinking tea while couch surfing with YouTube.
The best part of such (I always look for the positives)? Discovering new talent. Today I found Claire McAdams, photographer and explorer. Her journey through China a few months ago charmed me. I enjoy her energy and quirky sensibilities.
Back in October she posted a video of a day on Seattle (I expect her actual visit here occurred in summer, though. Anyway, I inserted the video below for your convenience and edification).
I liked her choices for her Seattle excursion:
Pike Place Market including:
- The gum wall
- Food tour (she didn’t mention which tour company she used. There are plenty of options, though).
Dim Tai Fung. They opted for Bellevue, though Pacific Place is significantly closer to Pike Place.
Now, as a life-long Seattleite, what suggestions do I offer?
Hmmm…
Favorite Foods at Pike Place:
And Seattle Center:
- Skillet Counter: my favorite place!
- KEXP’s Gathering Space/La Marzocca
I like her venue choices with some additions. If you like music, add MPop. And the Wing Luke Museum offers great insight into the Asian Pacific American experience. If nothing else, their Bruce Lee exhibit garnered high praise.
So, Seattle fans, what recommendations come to mind? And check out her video.
