Those are beautiful places and beautiful photos! I’ve never been to the Northwest, but have always wanted to. Seattle is definitely a place I’d love to go…and I’m basing that on much more than Season 7 of the Real World and the movie Singles…although I enjoyed both very much. LOL.

What is the Troll made of? He’s amazing. These are wonderful photos. Nice to learn something about and see something of your side of the country!

Thanks for stopping by on my animation TT.

Amazing!
I’m dreaming to visit Seattle ever since i watched Sleepless in Seattle (OK I was kid) and when I heard there are loads of rain there I fell in love in that image I created about your town .
(Didn’t know about floods though)
Happy TT!

Cheers from Serbia!

We were in Seattle on vacation last spring and visited many of those places. The Hoh (which we visited years ago, not this time) is one of my very favorite places.

Glad to see you are making it through the weather. I have been to Seattle many times and have seen many of these places. I even got to see the Tulips once. I think it is amazing that there is no rain in any of your beautiful pictures…LOL. Have a great TT
