The city just cleaned this wall... probably why there are more people that usual trying to get it back to it's normal state (the gum wall at Pike's Place Market).
We headed up to Seattle for the day - we started by checking out Emerald Water Anglers.
Nice shop with a really cool fly organizing system. After that we made out way to Pike's Place Market. We saw the Duck Truck fleet partying it up in the streets.
Lots of people at the market....
No shortage of fish and fishing references
We went to have some chowder at the Pacific Place Mall (no lines like at the Market). Ended up walking around Belltown for a bit.
And we finished off the day at the Asian district near the stadiums.
Fun day checking out Seattle and catching up with my bro Landon at the sushi joint!!!
We went up to Seattle for the day. Here are some pictures of some interesting stuff. Like $18.99 a pound poke (I finally found one thing less expensive in Hawaii)
There's a monk fish under the ice.
And I never thought I'd see crappie for sale (I need to become a professional fisherman)
And from the Mainland - I'm going to start work in Honolulu so you'll see a change for scenery and focus (more fish and surf). Our last stop of the day yesterday was the Pyramid Brewery in Seattle next to the football stadium. And by coincidence, the Seahawks were playing.
The Apricot Ale is La and my favorite beer (with a very close second going to Poseidon Grapefruit IPA - but you can't get it outside of Oxnard, CA).
Noe and Marlon did not like the crowd response to the good plays - not a good way to get them to like professional football...
Really good beer nonetheless!
Our bookstore fetish is magnified when we pass a Japanese bookstore... And this one is in the Uwajimaya complex - talk about a triple threat (groceries, cream puffs and Japanese bookstore stuff).
