Seattle was everything I thought it was going to be. Amazing scenery, great food, nice people, and awesome weather. I really enjoyed this trip and can’t wait to go back.

The Washington Coast
THE COAST
I only had half a day to explore the coast, so I drove north for a couple hours. Weaving in and out of beautiful sounds (?), looking out over amazing cliffs. Countless cute little towns full of places to stop and have lunch. It is one of the most beautiful places I’ve seen.

This is the only day that I could even think about complaining about the weather. Even with the overcast sky the w

THE GUM WALL
I was more intrigued than grossed out by the great gum wall. I don’t know how it started, why it’s there or why so many people care about it but once I got there, there’s something that made me want to stick around and check out the different types of gum, notes and decorations.

Watch out for flying fish
MEAN MARKET
Despite being the most iconic of Seattle tourist stops, they are not all that nice to photographers. I had a great spot picked out right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle, about to set up my tripod and the fun police swooped in and told me no tripods allowed. Weak.

DOWNTOWN SEATTLE TIME-LAPSE
This was a great second day in Seattle. This view of downtown has everything you can ask for. Buildings, water, motion, mountains, clouds and most importantly, a clear view of the setting sun.
It all worked together to give me a little glimpse into the complexity of a beautiful city like Seattle.

Elliott Bay
ELLIOTT BAY
I really liked this view because it gives you a lot of layers. The buildings in the foreground. Elliott bay in the middle and the mountains with the setting sun in the background.

Century Link Field at sunset
CENTURY LINK FIELD
I like this image for a couple reasons. I think the stadium has a cool look with the two arches going across the span. Combine that with mountains in the background and the sky turning a soft peach, I thought it made for a great photo.

SUNSET HILL SEATTLE TIME-LAPSE
This was such a great way to kick off my trip to Seattle. The snow covered mountains, elevated viewpoint over the sound, cool weather, dancing boats and an incredible setting sun all combined to make a perfect evening.

Still
Stillness
The further the sun sank below the horizon, the more still the area became. The boats that had been out in the sound watching the sunset returned to dock. The wind calmed. The colors of the sunset started to blend together as darkness enveloped the scene.
It was a great way to end my first day in Seattle.
