Seattle not Tacoma

Spent a week in early June 2023 in Seattle WA.  Pictures loaded in reverse chronological order and it's too difficult, thanks Google, to move them around.  Visited the usual places, Space Needle, Pike Place market, Pop Museum, and Chillula display, but also walked around University of Washington, SAM (Seattle Art Museum), kayaked Lake Union (dodging seaplanes and big boats), Bill and Malinda Gates Foundation, biked on Bainbridge Island, Nordic Museum, and a wood boat museum.    



Last day got some more typical Seattle weather

Jenny Saville, much bloodier looking in pictures

Amazing Amy Sherald work


Fun to see a Warhol but I don't think these are aging well IMHO
