For The Love of Travel

My favorite places, photos and stories

4/10/18 City skyline, Seattle, Washington

Seattle, a city on Puget Sound in the Pacific Northwest, is surrounded by water, mountains and evergreen forests, and contains thousands of acres of parkland.

Washington State’s largest city, it’s home to a large tech industry, with Microsoft and Amazon headquartered in its metropolitan area.

The Port of Seattle seaport generates 9,000 direct jobs with $2 billion of personal income,  resulting in $1.8 billion of business revenue and $183.7 million state and local taxes. In addition, the port is a critical link connecting Washington businesses with global markets, and supports the 40 percent of jobs in the state that depend on trade.
Yesterday, a 13 hour day of travel and photographs, as weather forecast predicted 100% rain today… so glad I made the effort, its bucketing!
These city views were taken at the Seattle Space Needle, while on a boat cruise on Elliot Bay, and visits to Dr Josef Rizal Park, Kerry Park and Pier 66.

I live in St Kilda, Melbourne, Australia. Having worked for 3 decades, yes 3......I now plan to travel the globe and am excited about the journeys and adventures ahead. I'd like to share stories, experiences and maybe some inspirations with friends and family in real time...
