For a truly unique coffee experience wonder on down to the Pike Place Market and take a look along 1st street. The Crumpet Shop

Yup! You heard me right… The area known as South Lake Union unvelied it’s newest transportation addition, the South Lake Union Trolley, a.k.a S.L.U.T! When the local council realised this unfortunate, yet hilarious acronym, they quickly changed the title to the South Lake Union Streetcar.

There are rumors of “warmer” weather and sunshine, at least as much as Seattle can muster during the last few months of winter. Today was beautiful and sunny, but with a chilly blustery wind.

Seattle has 12th man fever and the RedSkins better beware. Saturday, January 5th, at 1pm the Seahawks will play the Redskins in the NFC Wildcard in hopes of making it to the playoffs. Seattle-ites promise noise and more noise in and outside the stadium!

Markettree!
Did you Know?In the 1980’s, the Market’s wood plank floors were in disrepair and the Market had no money to replace them. And so the tile campaign was created and 46,500 named tiles were created to cover the Market’s Main and North Arcades.
