June 30th Seattle

We got up in Portland, Oregon and drove to Seattle.
Pikes Market.

Rachael, Ethan and the fish at Pikes Market. Rachael is worried we are going to eat at the fish market...

We went on a harbour boat tour (we were given free tickets from another guest at our motel! whoo hoo!). The tour was GREAT! We learned that this boat is almost fully loaded with grain. When you can no longer see red on the bottom it is full. It was neat seeing other boats in the harbor that were sitting up high in the water with a lot of red showing and we knew they were "empty". We also got to see the large barges that were loaded with the containers you see on trucks and trains. It is amazing how many they load with the claw. We also saw a "dry-dock" where they fix boats. Farther down you can see a picture of the Space Needle from the boat as well.
