Downtown Seattle

Our last afternoon in Seattle was free of concerts and school visits, so we took the opportunity to walk around downtown. I was surprised by the topography (the hills in downtown Seattle remind me of San Francisco) and impressed with the public library (a "dazzling avant-garde symphony of glass and form" by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas - see the library's website for more info and the source of that quote).

We also spent some time shopping... and searching out a few good laughs.
