Forks, WA to Seattle

Seattle skylinegranddaughter & Gloria & GordonThe Olympic Peninsula was still overcast and drizzle as we left Forks, heading for Seattle.

We finally got down to Bremerton and boarded the ferry to Seattle.  It's a leisurely way to travel -- about a hours ride, with an interesting view.

Leaving the ferry, we drove to Gordon and Gloria's home.  It was good to see old friends and introduce my granddaughter to them.

boat locksThat evening we went to see the boat locks that raise and lower boats from sea level to Lake Union.  Always an interesting sight.  Attached to the locks is a fish ladder.  The Sockeye were migrating up stream.  From the darkened viewing area, with glass windows, we could see the Sockeye and the ladder was full of them.
