We travel North to Seattle, Washington today.
Our first stop- Washington State Capitol in Olympia. This is the government building of Washington State,
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_State_Capitol . We joined the tour and learnt that each of the materials is carefully chosen to construct the entire building.
Tacoma, the city in btwn Olympia and Seattle. We had this famous Popeyes Chicken for lunch
http://www.popeyes.com/ which sells Chicken set meals. The chicken taste better than KFC! The meat is so tender and doesn't stick onto the bone. The herb smell is so nice. However, the spicy chicken was not that spicy. Singapore frens can try Popeyes Chicken at Terminal 2!
We're on our way to Seattle. Do you know the largest commerial airplane manufacturer, Boeing, is at Seattle? It has its own runway, warehouse etc.And all can be seen along I-5!
Washington State uni- the campus is big, has its own small little town filled with cafes, bookstores etc.
Space needle from far, in between Seattle Stadium.
So we reached Seattle. This is the Pike Place Market along Pike St

There's a prominent stall called the Pike Place Fish
http://www.pikeplacefish.com/ where the fishmongers throw fish and perform infront of the customers. Visit their webcam to look at the performance!

Fresh Veges...
Starbucks' first cafe, started out by 3 young entreprenuers, is situated in Pike Place market. it is still there today. You can actually see how the Starbucks logo changed throughout the years.
In Washington, we often came upon this very nice "glass" deco. These ornaments actually contains the rock and dust from Mt St Helen's eruption in 1980. Each costs abt 20USD.
Final stop for the day - Seattle Space Needle. It looks like a spaceship right? we went up to the observtory deck and it was cold and windy. we couldn't even get a nice shot cz our hands were always trembling!
