Seattle is a short drive from Vancouver (relative to the distances I’m used to), and I got in to the Seattle area early this afternoon. Instead of going to the hotel, I went down to Pike Place Market to walk around. I got to see the guys toss the fish being bought back to the guys wrapping it. They’re pretty good. The specialty today was Copper River Salmon, from the Copper River in Alaska. I crossed the Copper River on the way to the Denali Highway a week ago. I’ll bet the fish got here a lot faster than I did.
Got back to the Hampton Inn in Lynnwood to watch the NBA playoffs. And then I realized that the Mariners were in town and I could have gone to see them. Terrible mistake. Way to go, Boston, but you sure took away any tension.
At least the PGA gave us some excitement this week.
This thing is coming to a close. Guess I’d better think about what it all means.

Sounds like a great trip! Nice pictures of the market! You might not have time since you're on the road, but we're having a salmon recipe contest and awarding the winner with 15 Pounds of Wild Salmon (three separate 5-lb. shipments). Check it out at MarxFoods.com. Or if you have family and friends back home that would be into a taste of the NW, pass this on!
Pike's Market! That's where you got my gift last time! Can't wait to see what you brought back this time!
I loved keeping up with the blog! Sorry to see it end. Thanks for sharing! Look forward to seeing you soon!
