Seattle, WA
Ah! Finally made my way to the west coast and it was so good to be on the west coast. I had never been to the west coast before and since I was staying here for the break, I decided that I should finally make my way to the west coast. Though it was kind of a last minute trip, I feel it was all worth it because it gave me a chance to explore another part of the US. Lucky enough I was able to find cheaper flight tickets and a hotel (it was a super cool hotel, I will say). It was cold and rainy for all the time I was in Seattle, so I was able to use my umbrella and winter jacket to not be completely wet. Oooo…And the public transit is so cool and connects different parts of Seattle and the surrounding cities so well and many people make use of the public transit; I got to use the public transportation when I visited the Microsoft Headquarters, University District, Seattle University and back to where I was living that day.
