We’ve been to Seattle a couple of times now and done some shopping and eating. Two of our favorite pastimes, although we would probably prioritize them in different order. Both trips we stopped at Ivers and Pike Place Market.
Ivers is a seafood restaurant just a block away from the ferry terminal. And that’s how we get there from Bremerton. We just leave the car and walk on the ferry. It’s about an hours trip. Ivers has a more formal sit down section and a fast-food sidewalk section also. We’ve done both and fed the seagulls. The chowder is just great. Worth the trip all by itself.
Pike Place is the home of the famous Pike Place fish market where they throw fish around. Always a crowed there watching the fishmongers. We didn’t see PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) there, though they have protested the throwing of fish. “Go figure!” But for us, just around the corner is the little mini-donut place that Kat just has to stop at. We always get a dozen. No ‘Calorie Police’ yet. But that may be coming. Speaking of that: we got an email from Fred Meyer grocery that there was a recall on the Tollhouse cookie dough we purchased a couple of weeks ago. Salmonella or something? So, we’re thinking it must be the Club or Rewards card that allows that information to be tracked. Damn! Big Brother is watching! Scary! Is that how they’re going to do the caloric tax? Real Scary!
Our last trip we rode the bus through town to the Woodcraft store to by a couple of things for woodcarving. What I ended up getting was a set of micro tools and case. A must have! He said with a grin.
