My sister Sarah, who lives in South Carolina met me for 4 days in Seattle before I headed back to Anchorage. We packed the days with gardens, hiking, markets, posing for some fabulous “Senior” pictures, and nightly dinners at my new found love: Whole Foods.

Saint Edward State Park

After hiking, we ate an incredibly scrumptious vegan lunch in Bastyr University’s Cafeteria.

Pike Place Market

I was in Fiestaware heaven at this store…

Watch out for the man who runs off with your baby to the public restroom?!?

Chuckanut Drive

University of Washington Botanic Garden and Bellevue Botanical Garden

We found a Hobbit door!

I need to give a big shout out to Michelle for telling us all the places we should explore while in and around Seattle.

Thank you, Michelle!
