We had a blast, the family and I, and experienced some amazing natural places, to say nothing of the fine city of Seattle. The Lucky Diner on First Avenue in Seattle has delicious food. Ditto for the Blackbird Bakery on Bainbridge Island, Fins Coastal Cuisine in Port Townsend, and Ezell’s Chicken in Seattle. Scary nice.
