some things i discovered on my travels through montana and idaho:
nothing is offensive.
there are indeed aliens.
pepul are bad spellars.
our first stop in washington was north bend, the town that "twin peaks" was filmed in. super exciting for me. we went into the double R diner, which had apparently fallen prey to arson in 2000, which explained why the inside wasn't looking familiar at all. i bought a (sad excuse for a) map of the film set locations for $2, which needless to say was a bust. most of the places were either impossible to find or no longer existed. we did get to the great northern though. the falls were beautiful.
once we arrived in seattle, we met up with our friends chris and ali at gas works park, and stayed to watch the sunset. best view of the city. one of my favorite places we visited. i may have enjoyed it so much because we just sat and stared, and were not in a car.
the next day chris and ali took us around the city and showed us some sights. they took us to the seattle public library, which had some of the most bizarre architecture i have ever seen in a library. super modern and futuristic. i never would have asked to go on a tour of a library, but i'll tell you, i'm glad we did.
chris & ali
the entire sci-fi floor is red and mars like.
we headed down to the waterfront and popped into the oddities museum, ye olde curiosity shop, and saw handsome dudes like this guy. and of course we hit up pike place market, the gum wall and the original starbucks.
my one requested stop in seatte was here:
the apartment complex where the movie singles was filmed. yippie!
we spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around the fremont area. chris and ali took us out for thai food and then we wandered under the bridge and found this guy:
