The fish market!  Such an iconic part of a Seattle trip IMO.  So much to photograph there too.

Thank you!  I think I saw that in one of my searches, that’s where they throw the fish from one to another right?

Go to Kerry Park on Queen Anne's hill. It's on W. Highland Drive. This is where you get the city skyline with Mt. Ranier in the background.

Who’s been up there lately?  What’s the crime situation looking like up there?  Wasn’t there an issue with overturn of the law up there not long ago?
