This past Saturday turned out to be a great day to go outside. Hardly a cloud in the sky and highs close to 60. We woke up fairly early for us on a Saturday and went to eat bagels at a local place on Capital Hill. Then we drove to Snoqualmie Falls about 30 miles east of here off of I-90. I had been wanting to go see it ever since we got here. It's sort of famous because David Lynch's tv show, Twin Peaks, was filmed near Snoqualmie Falls and North Bend. Lots of shots from the show can be found around the North Bend area. After a pretty drive through a lot of forest, we finally got there and took several pictures of the falls. It was really windy close to the edge of the cliff. There was a good amount of people considering how cold it is still. I imagine it's really busy in the summer. We walked down about 1/2 a mile to the bottom of the falls and took some more video and pictures. We could have gone into the Salish Lodge at the top of the falls, but we were getting hungry and wanted to get back to Seattle.

After the falls, we drove back and stopped near the University of Washington. There are a lot of places to eat and shop near the campus. We ate at a Pho place and it was alright, pretty cheap, but not really my kind of food. Troy likes it a lot for some reason.

We walked around UW for a while, then we went to Alki Beach close to sunset so we could see all of downtown Seattle lit up. This is one of the best places for views of the city. We walked around the shoreline for a while and then drove up to the top of the hill. You never see anything like this in Texas.
