Ferry Ride to Bainbridge Island

Today I'm on the ferry to Bainbridge Island. From the ferry, I can see tge Space Needle, the Seattle FD fireboats, and the Seattle Aquarium. I wish I was here for pleasure instead of work!

Yarn Shop!

Before I left for Seattle, I contacted the Downtown Seattle knitting group on Ravelry for can't-miss shops. They recommended So Much Yarn, a store right near Pike Place Market. After getting lost and finding my way, I finally stumbled in, only to be greeted by an adorable French Bulldog (and later on, a second). They posed before I left. Note what looks like a light-colored chin on the black one... It's her tongue. She's sticking it out at me! Apparently this is common with the breed. Weirdos!

Seattle Workation!

I'm in Seattle, attending the FIREHOUSE software conference, and yarn shopping in my very small spare time. Arrived to rain (always!) and promptly got lost getting off the light rail. 15 soaking wet blocks later, up and back down 5th Avenue, I found my hotel. Sweet views of the harbor and the Space Needle! Plan on hitting yarn shop tonight and Bainbridge Island first thing in the morning before the conference starts and my sanity ends.
