Living in Seattle Lets go to Pier 57


Taking a walk on Seattle's historic Waterfront leading to Olympic Sculpture Park for a walk with our best buddy Cooper, we see something fun and different every day. If we decide to head south down the waterfront we hit several destination spots including Pier 57.

Miners' Landing offers up some colorful spots to shop and enjoy waterfront fare. Starting with the Crab Pot where you can let your inner child or caveman out. Mounding bowls of steamed crab, mussels, clams, shrimp with quarter ears of corn and red potatoes are dumped on the table. No silverware, however bibs required!

Pirates Plunder is the ultimate Seattle souvenir shop where you can purchase everything from postcards to Pirate garb and more!

Seattle Bike Ride in the Park

Living in Seattle is a never ending adventure. If I look out my window and the sun is shining, I can't resist the urge to get out there and explore. So we dusted off the old Schwinn and headed off to the Olympic Sculpture Park bike trail, it leads all the way to the Ballard locks. I didn't make it to Ballard, however, I am still happy with my valiant efforts and it was a glorious day!

"Prices are down, interest rates are low; you don't usually find those two things happening at the same time. Unless you expect rates to decline dramatically in the immediate future, find the home you want and buy it! 

Waiting on the market doesn’t make sense. The difference in your payment – whether you guess right or guess wrong about interest rates – is not usually enough to outweigh the benefits of getting a good price, the pride of ownership, and the long-term value of your investment." – Nikki Boad

Motivational Monday: Sunset in Seattle

Sunset in Seattle

They say one picture is worth a thousand words. As I glanced out my window, I saw the brightest hues of pink, orange and yellow ribbons across the sky with clouds surrounding the setting sun.

I still can't believe the beauty of a sunset whether it is setting behind the mountain ranges in Phoenix, sinking into the ocean in Key West, or right outside my window in Seattle. I am always humbled by the infinite genius of nature...
