So that was an amazing trip!
So many highlights, but Alaska and Yellowstone are truly astounding places.
Vancouver and Seattle are very cool cities for visiting and I can definitely see myself living in either.
Good times.

There is baseball, and occasionally there are other things of note

Seattle is the west coast's Baltimore...

Glad you had fun. I love Seattle too. Great town.
Beautiful city with great access to the outdoors.
Population is booming so apparently many people agree with us.

Pictures looked awesome Mike and Kelly. Jealous of that trip.
Well when Kevin gets older parts of this trip will make for a great family trip.
The pics posted so far by me are only from the first 5 or so days of the trip. Still have to sort through the rest.

How so?
Roots as a working port... that kind of history and contact with the world that most places don't have... non-glamor place where people like to live... even if they don't like aspects of the weather... seafood.... neighborhoods... on the water...
But they have ferries...

Seattle and Baltimore couldn't be more different IMO

I haven't been to Seattle in 10 years but it didn't remind me of Baltimore.
I would love to get out to Yellowstone eventually. I've been to Yosemite and to Philmont in NM but Yellowstone is definitely at the top on my list of national parks I want to visit.

Yeah, I don't see it. They're both port cities, but the similarities pretty much end there. If anything, Portland is closer to Baltimore than Seattle. Both are pretty quirky, in their own way, and both exist in the shadow of bigger, better-known metros (Baltimore-DC, Portland-Seattle). And both are the home of big-time sporting apparel companies.

I might be heading out there in September for a few days to visit my niece and nephew. First time I'll have been there. I'll let you know.
As far as weather, September is the best month to visit the PNW, so your timing is great.

Leave tonight for Anchorage, then drive down to the Kenai River tomorrow. Definitely fired up.
