I'm sleeping in Seattle

The movie "Sleepless in Seattle" has always been one of my favorites. Of course, some of the scenes in it was shot in Seattle (if not all.) The movie setting is perfect for lovers and those who want to fall in love. I really feel so lucky to have chance to visit this wonderful city, coz tonight, I'm sleeping in Seattle. YEY!
Upon seeing Mount Helens from the plane, I know I'll enjoy my stay here. Overview of the place is that it has many bodies of waters, it has lots of greens ( lots of trees ) and marvelous snow capped mountains. I guess I arrived at the best part of the year. It's not foggy, not hot, weather is just perfect for strolling around.

Mount St. Helens

View from the plane. Travellers tip: In the plane, get the right side window seat to see these spectacular sights


At the Waterfront Strip in Seattle is where you find all the best Restaurants in the city.


The Crab Pot at Seattle Pier is a heaven for all seafood lovers! I've never tasted such good crabs and shrimps. This is definitely one of the best tasting seafood restaurants I've been to.


YUM- MEEEE!!!! Couldn't ask for more....


Shrimps, king crabs, snow crabs, clams, mussels, salmon, tuna... Everything I could ever ask for... YUMMY!!

This is the Seattle Space needle. Looks like an Alien to me. HAHA!



Tully's is one of the popular cafe here in Washington (of course, Starbucks and Seattle's best coffee are just scattered around the area).

About 30 minutes drive from Seattle is another spot to visit in Washington - Bellevue.
Bellevue caters a lot of restaurants that offers variety of cuisine. You'd be surprise that prices are not that high for a nice restaurant like this. ( McCormick &Schmicks located at Lincoln Square- Bellevue)
Nice and cozy interiors...
the bar offers lots of options for the guests...
Food servings are pretty big too...
Another popular tourist spot in Seattle is the Farmers Market ( located at SW Alaska street.) This place offers variety of fresh fruits, vegetables and they say you get here the best fresh seafoods in the area at a fairly low price.
