My friend in Portland flew Seattle for her date this noon. Since it's my free day today, we planned to have lunch in Chinatown before her date.Fearing parking in Seattle downtown, we decided to use Light Rail. I met her in Tukwila station, which she went from Sea-Tac airport station to downtown Seattle by way of. One thing that irks me is they don't put a station at my city, so I have to drive to the Tukwila station, which is on top of the hill.
We were excited on the way from Tukwila to downtown. This results in a maximum cost of $2.50 for a one-way trip. We could clearly see Mt.Rainier through the window.It just intrigued us how fast, comfortable and convenient light rail really is.
Got out light rail at International District, we ate lunch at a Chinese restaurant. And then we moved our feet on another light rail to Westlake station, which is in the heart of downtown Seattle's retail core. We, the two shopaholics, had an excuse to shopping here in a couple hours. And it was incredible, we still got attractive discounts from Macy's. My friend got a coat for $37.99, marked down from $199. To tell you the truth, this was my suggestion, because I believed if she wore the new coat instead of her ridiculous dress today, the magical "Avatar" blue would captivate the man's eye at his first sight tonight!
saying bye-bye to each other at 4 pm, I rode another light rail back to Tukwila station and drove my car home.
Heaven bless my friend, May all her hopes and dreams come true.
What a great day! I did ride it once -- it is so convenient. I really enjoyed not worrying about parking, and enjoying the scenery.
ReplyDeleteSo.....how was her date??! Did the new coat have the affect she wanted?!
Just a few things: intrigued (in past tense); We got out.
