In the past, when we've visited Seattle, our favorite activity was always to go to the waterfront and have lunch and then ride the ferry. Well, it seems that the city of Seattle didn't think they were making enough off of the ferries so the have DRASTICALLY increased the price to walk on the ferry. Sad day! So this year, we set out to find a new fun activity for the family in Seattle. We ended up riding the light rail into the city. We parked (for free) at the light rail station in Burien and then rode into the Westlake Mall area. It turned out to be super fun. The kids loved the train ride. I really enjoyed seeing parts of Seattle that you don't see when you drive to the city. Despite the rainy day, we walked from Westlake down through Pike's Place to the waterfront. We always love a visit to the Old Curiousity Shop! The kids were major troopers and happily walked the whole way. We then made our way back up to the mall and caught the light rail home! It's always fun to discover something new!
