Denice,
Thanks for your suggestions. I've always wanted to visit Seattle and we're all really excited to finally be making it to the west coast. We'll do our best to hit as many of your top 10 as possible.

We've been twice to Seattle. LOVE IT! We liked Pike's Place Market and Whidbey Island as well. We didn't get to take the ferry to BC, but my mom and dad did and said it was awesome! In Oregon, the Columbia River Gorge and Multnoma Falls are fabulous! My aunt and uncle live in Portland, so if you need anything at all, please let me know. I'll give them a call. Wish we were in the Northwest with you guys!!
Went to Pike Place Mkt the other day. (sorry, the blog is behind by about a week or so) Couldn't believe the deals on fresh cut flowers! Huge bunches for $5! They were gorgeous. And yes, we saw them throw a fish or two at the Fish Mkt. Cool. Multnoma Falls is on our list. We heard about it several times from Joseph Dickerson in life group and hope to see it ourselves. Went hiking in Olympia Nat'l Park but didn't get up to Whidbey Island. Very pretty up there. We took the ferry. That sparked a discussion about the different modes of transportation we've used since we've been on the trip (it was our first time taking our car on a ferry) It's a long list! I'll have to be sure to write it down so we don't forget.
