Sleepless in Seattle? A trilogy

Got more sleep in this vacation than I ever did at home. Moving on.

Museum of History and Industry
It delves into the early history and settling and expansion of the Seattle area then proceeds to highlight Seattle based innovations.











Henry Art Gallery
To be honest, I kind of just stumbled into this one while walking around the university of Washington. But hey, it's free to students!



Seattle Asian Art Museum
This one was a bit of a walk for me. It's kind of in the middle of this very large park in the middle of a very nice neighborhood.






Volunteer Park Conservatory
Another place I stumbled into by accident but I can't ignore pretty flowers.







Bruce and Brandon Lee's Grave Site
The grave site is in the middle of Lake View Cemetery. Google maps is really helpful in finding the exact place but you can tell which one it is because it has a lot of flowers in front of it.


Capitol Hill
Not to be confused with DC's Capitol Hill. I mainly stayed in this neighborhood. It has a lot of cool restaurants and bars and very interesting shops.

Ballard
A bit of a ways away from downtown. You definitely have to drive or take the bus to it. It does have some small beaches which were recommended to me by the locals. Ah if only it were warmer. It is also filled with interesting shops and they closed part of it for a local market.

University Village
I'm so jealous Seattle has a Din Tai Fung. Anyway, can you believe it? It snowed while I was there. I was told it doesn't usually snow in Seattle. I must have brought that East Coast weather with me. Anyway, this is a cute place to hang out with friends or go shopping.



If anyone is looking to move to Seattle, just know it is constantly mention on any list of best cities in the U.S. to live in. Housing prices are shooting up though. I'd love to go back to Seattle when it's spring. I hear their parks are beautiful during that time of year and the weather is perfectly mild. I'm sure I'll be back as long as my friend still lives there.
