Tours only on Friday and Saturday. I leave Thursday night.

Looks like I'm staying right around the corner from the Pike St. market. Anything else around there worth seeing?

On top of that there is a couple of guys that give open ****pit biplane rides from KBFI & are based out of the museum parking area...

Beautiful city. People kept telling me the weather was exceptional, "it usually isn't this nice", but I think they were just trying to keep me from spilling the beans to other Caifornians.
Downtown was fun, kinda like San Francisco. Great seafood, the cioppino at Elliot's was awesome.

Took that pic from the Bainbridge ferry.

Weather is okay I guess. We have five days of summer then fall and winter.
