We’re just back from an Alaskan Cruise celebrating our
four-year anniversary. Our cruise left out of Seattle, which gave us a great
opportunity to visit the Pacific Northwest again and reminisce about our time
Wandering Washington last Fall.
While Dale Chihuly’s glasswork is on display throughout the world, I think this is the best place to see it since he’s a Washington native and so well celebrated here. I especially could not get over this glasshouse, built to imitate a greenhouse, only the glass represents the flowers.
Loved that this art exhibit is so unique with the glass being used as the main lighting source
We landed in Seattle late Saturday night, then had a few hours to spare Sunday morning before our cruise took off. We wanted to make the most of our time on the West Coast, especially in the PNW, so we ditched our luggage and headed downtown. Last time we were here, we had the chance to visit Pike Place Market, go rock climbing at the REI flagship store, see the Space Needle, explore the arts area of Fremont, and our favorite with exploring the Japanese Garden in the rain. Since we only had a few hours to spare this time around, we had to pick just one thing to do. Too many great options, but we ultimately chose to visit Seattle’s Chihuly Garden & Glass House.
Outside and enjoying the gardens with the best view of the Space Needle.
Summer in Seattle may require bundling up, but it's still summer so couldn't turn down shaved ice.
I think for the time that we had, we picked the best option visiting this gorgeous glasshouse and celebrating this city. Can't wait to share more about all the places we visited after this.
