Spring in Seattle

I traveled up to Seattle for a few days last week and had a fun time exploring the city and catching up with old friends. The spring flowers on the trees and throughout Pike Place Market were so beautiful, I wish I could have taken a bouquet of tulips home on the plane with me! Scroll to the end for my Seattle to-do list.
