I was in Seattle, WA, for a work conference last week, and managed to squeeze in a few hours here and there to join the throngs of tourists during what I’m told was a particularly fine week of summer weather in Seattle (which everybody told me can usually be summed up as “overcast”). A couple of trips up the Space Needle (morning and night), a trip to the Seattle Aquarium, a harbour cruise, and a visit to the spectacular Chihuly Garden & Glass exhibition.
