There is so much to do in Seattle we encourage you to plan
ahead and schedule a
couple of days before the 69th FWR Conference
to get in some great sight seeing.
There is the Iconic Space Needle, exciting Public Market,
and the original Starbucks.
I think the tiny shoe store that was the original Nordstrom
is gone but you can get in
some good shopping at their Flagship store downtown.
There is the Fremont Troll
residing under the north end of the Aurora Bridge,
the floating homes on Lake Union, Pioneer Square, and if you love books, you
will have to visit the huge Elliott Bay Book Company still staying competitive
with Amazon.
Drive across the sound and have a meal at Salty’s on Alki
Beach (just as the sun sets)
it is a bit pricey, but I promise you, it is an
unforgettable experience. If you can
squeeze in the time, take the Catamaran across to British Columbia and see
Butchart Gardens. Even if you don’t get
to the Gardens having “Afternoon Tea” in Victoria, or
simply wandering around
the little jewel of a city is well worth the 2-3 hour cruise.
The nightlife is just as exciting in the Emerald City. Seattle is well know for it’s world
class
jazz, so set aside a night to visit a club just blocks from downtown and the
waterfront and listen to great music.
I hope you feel excited about spending a few days in
Seattle. Join us at the 69th
FWR
Conference to celebrate our achievements, plan for the coming
year and have some fun.
