Springtime in Seattle

Back in spring of 2008 I traveled to Seattle for four months on my first consulting project.  I stayed in the city a few weekends and did a bunch of sightseeing, went on really (really) long walks, and explored the surrounding area.  Beyond the exceptional food and drink (largest wine producing state after California) I was most impressed by how close downtown Seattle is to the outdoors. Here's a view of the Cascade mountains just ten minutes outside of the city.
We drove through the mountains on our trip out to some wineries in Yakima valley.
During one my long walks I encountered a bridge troll.
I also saw lots of bald eagles.
And I walked past a big granary.
And this.
Lastly, I'll just point out that these photos were taken across a few different weekends, but the sky was consistently gray...that's springtime in Seattle.
