Seattle

We got to Seattle around 6:30 that night and checked into our hotel. While in Eugene, I did some research and decided on the Marqueen Hotel, which is in the Queen Anne district. It was built in 1918 and has an interesting history, but the best part was that it was only four blocks from daughter Allyson, and Tom's apartment.
Ally had an evening event that Charles Schwab (her employer) was putting on. Pat and I walked across the street to Peso's and had a cocktail. We had a late lunch, so opted for appetizers and they were great. Ally joined us later and we walked her home to her apartment. She and Tom have nice one bedroom apartment in the Queen Anne District. She walks or takes the bus everywhere and is thinking of selling her car, which is parked at the curb.
The next day Pat and I took the bus to Pike Place Market and looked around while Ally was at work. She got off at noon and met us at our hotel and we walked four or five blocks the other direction to Seattle Center, where the Space Needle is. We had a clear 55 degree day, so it was nice to walk around. We all enjoyed the Space Needle (even though Ally isn't fond of heights) and had a great day. Allyson just passed her series 7 test, which allows her to buy and sell stocks. From the top of the Space Needle she pointed out a building and said, "I want to work there as a hedge fund manager". We're confident she'll do it.
After Tom got off work, Pat and I walked back to their apartment and we took them to a restaurant called Palisades. Again, we had a great dinner - seafood this time. After our dinner, they dumped us at our hotel and we bid them goodbye.
