Seattle Tourist Attractions - Seattle Times article

[techteach]

Pasted from our local newspaper.

I just read The Seattle Times' article, "What tourists ask most about Seattle (and what the rest of us should know, too)", and I think it might interest you, too. You can read the full article here:

Thanks for the link, its an interesting read. I've been to Seattle many times (2--3 hr drive) as a tourist and could check off almost everything in that artice (no idea who the boys in the boat are!)

 

Also interested to read the comments, as Vancouver is struggling with many of the same homelessness and drug problems as Seattle. There are no easy answers, and blaming the situaion on Democrat or Republican policies doesn't wash (there are no dems or reps in Canada!)

The U Dub rowing team represented the United States in the 1936 Olympics and won the gold.  The book is great.  The movie is coming out in the near fuutre

The Boys in the Boat is a excellent read.  My number 1 recommend is to gather a picnic dinner in the market then a walk on ferry round trip to Bremerton and back.  Time this for sunset and city lights
