Welcome to Seattle!

by Amy ~ July 25, 2007

We planned our India/Slovenia trips so we had about a month before we started working and could do househunting in Seattle.  Z’s company gave us temporary living in a small, fully furnished one bedroom apartment a few blocks from Pike’s Place Market (pointed out on the photo).

We have an amazing view of Puget Sound and are across the street from the ferry terminal, which takes you to Olympic Peninsula.   Since we’re not yet working we’ve been spending our time doing a lot of house hunting and exploring the local area.  We have both only spent a weekend in Seattle before moving here so we have a lot of exploring to do!!!

The Olympic Peninsula is just across the water from downtown Seattle.  You can either take the ferry across or you can drive south to Tacoma then around the Peninsula.  You could spend multiple days exploring the peninsula but we decided to do a one day trip – a very long day!  We drove the entire peninsula and took the ferry back to the city. The peninsula is really beautiful and we’re looking further to exploring it further!  Next time I think we’ll plan to stay on the peninsula and make it a two day trip!
