Seattle a day trip 2

It was a bad weather in the morning. 
Despite the rain, I stayed outside.
I was inspired by beautiful architectures in the city,
they're retro-futuristic.
I couldn't take many photos because of rain, 
next time when I visit there, I will definitely take a lot of photos. 




I was thinking to visit art galleries, unfortunately, 
it was on Monday then all galleries are closed.
I heard about the bus in downtown area is free,
then I tried to take metro bus.
The station was really cool look, like a Sci-Fi film set.


I wanted to check out a town called Ballard,  
and it was little away from the downtown, about 30 min by bus. 
When I saw the map, I felt like a bit far to go there, but it worth for taking time.
It's my favorite area now.

Nice brick buildings.

I was walking around, seemed like a lot of stores are closed on Mondays,
the town was quiet.
I saw many cool cafes and stores there, must be busy on weekends.

My favourite store, called Black Bird.
I found their clothing store at first,
and the staff introduced me their perfume store.
The stores are both awesome, specially the perfume store has an excellent selection.
I bought one, CB from NY, smoky tobacco.
It is sweet-smoky smell at first, 
the last note is amber(I guess...sorry if I was wrong!).

After satisfied with smelling and looking at beautiful perfumes,
I had a strawberry soda at miro tea.


That's all story of my one night trip to Seattle.
Want to check it out the Ballard area more!

Seeing Seattle through an artist eye is very inspiring. I am curious to see your point of view about Pike Place Market (where I work aka the overly commercial spot) though. Next time, maybe?
