Today was my last day in Seattle. I got up around 7:30 and did some bootleg laundry on Margaret's fancy Samsung washer/drier duo. Margaret then arose and cooked a fine breakfast of waffles, bacon, and melon. Margaret, Cowboy Jack, and I enjoyed listening to Bill Daley's south side accent on Meet the Press. Margaret, Lucy, Charlie and I then went on a drive. We found Chief Seattle's grave, pictured below.

The Puget Sound region is blessed with many 70s vintange VW vans, one of which is shown below in a parking lot in nearby Poulsbo, a hotbed of Norwegian culture.

Charlie and I are pictured below at the ferry stop, where we all parted ways.

Here is the 2:04 PM ferry approaching the Seattle dock around 2:40.

On landing, I took the short 10 minute walk to the light rail station at Pioneer Square.

The light rail took me on a forty minute ride to the Sea-Tac airport, where I boarded Alaska Air bound for LAX in Los Angeles, CA. I arrived there around 7:45 PM, boarded a shared ride Super Shuttle, which fifty minutes later deposited me at a 1990s vintage Radisson Hotel in Newport Beach, CA. The hotel has a few bumps and bruises, but it is fine, and a real bargain. Had a delicious spaghetti dinner before retiring to my room.
