One of my daughters lives in Seattle, Washington, a great place to visit. The following pictures were taken on one of the trips to visit her. Above is a view of downtown Seattle. The locks are between Lake Washington and Puget Sound.
We visited a Bavarian Village in Leavenworth. Leavenworth was once the center of logging and sawmill industries. When the railroad was rerouted, it became a dying community. To save the town in the 1960s, the community leaders to change the appearance to that of an Alpine village. They remodeled the downtown area into a the illusion of Bavaria. Since then the town has a thriving tourist industry.
And of course, no trip to Seattle would be complete without a visit to Mount Rainier. Here are three pictures taken from different points on the way and on the mountain. In the last three, my daughters are sitting on part of the mountain.
We also visited a game farm where the animals run loose and the people view them from their cars. As you can see, the animals are curious too.
