Great shots...
I think it's time I visited Seattle again, it's been eons & eons... you saw a lot in the short time you were there? I LOVE the fish throwing concept at the fish market. what a hoot! There were sev shots that caught my eye, esp 43, 54 (magnolia), the library? bldg (60), the gull in flight (62) & the reflection in 71. Great work & good eye ;o)

I see you had
... a great time, and got some interesting shots, especially at the markets. Seattle has a lot in common with Vancouver, which I don't know if you've ever visited. Most notably, the sky is usually grey and it rains a lot in both cities.
