During my trip to Seattle, I had spotted this joint right away as we were driving through the neighborhood where we were staying. On the way back to the hotel after the wedding we attended, my dad and cousin and I stopped for some hamburgers.
Apparently, Dick's is a Seattle institution. Known for its milk shakes and quick service. It was super speedy and hit the spot at the end of the night.
I think what amazed me most about the Seattle Space needle was that it was built for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair. I just don't think of anything during that period as being so high tech.
I guess what was happening during the 'space race' as proclaimed by JFK.
The Space Needle has a very interesting history that started with the inspiration by the President of a hotel chain that started with a drawing on a placemat in a coffee house.
On my recent trip to Seattle, my dad and I ventured to Snoqualmie Falls. On the ride back, we missed the turn off for the interstate.It was a fortunate occurrence because we discovered George's Bakery in North Bend. (Yummy glazed donuts). We also discovered the Snoqualmie Centennial Pavilion that housed a massive slice of a redwood tree.
You can tell the tree is pretty big, but considering my dad is about 6'4", it gives it an even greater sense of perspective.
Sometimes, getting lost is the best way to find great things.
