When I decided to take the internship at YES! Magazine, I was a tad nervous to move so far away. OK, Washington wouldn't be the furthest I have ever lived from my home in Michigan (I lived in Santa Ana, Calif. for two months a few years back with my best friend), but it was the first time I would be venturing out into the world by myself.
Although I was nervous, I knew it was an adventure that I needed to take, especially since I've always been drawn to the Pacific Northwest.
Like many parents, mine were worried about me packing up six months of my life to travel to Bainbridge Island by myself, so they decided they would fly over with me to make sure I got there in one piece. If you ask me, though, they had an ulterior motive. My parents love to travel, and over the years, family vacations have become more and more centered around visiting National Parks. Since Seattle is pretty close to Olympic National Park and Mount Rainier, we decided to fly out a week early to explore Seattle and the wilderness in the Evergreen State.
Throughout the next couple posts, I will share pictures and stories from our adventures during that week.
These photos are all from Pike Place Market. It is on the Seattle shoreline and has restaurants, craft vendors, fish markets, produce stands, bakeries, and specialty shops. The pictures are all from vendors on the top floor. The bottom floor houses actual shops that lock when the stores are closed. I hadn't heard of the market until my friend said I must visit it, and we had a lot of fun there. I bought organic cold-pressed hot apple cider and it was delicious! There was so much merchandise and not enough time to see it all.
