We all have a dream to travel around the world and that dream (reloaded) could start from here...

August, 2008
 
 
2 hour and 40 minutes by driving on single trip. Visited Granville Island Public Market, Canada Place (as shown on the picture above), Steam Clock and China Town. Finally, had dinner (ate long-time-missing Chicken Rice) at Golden Village in Richmond on the way back home to US. All place have public parking garage nearby and the parking at Golden Village is free (nice!).

One of the most famous touring place in Seattle (map and official web site). There are parking places behind the Pike Place Market (on the street between Pike Place Market and Waterfront Park). We parked at a garage $4/hour (not too hard to find a spot at 4pm) and saw there is also unsheltered parking place charged at $3/hour later.

About 20 miles (35 min) from home. It is on the road side of the WA-202 between Fall city and North Bend. Here is the map and its official site.
 
There is a trail on the right side of the park that can go down to the valley. We took ~16min to go down and ~18min to climb back.

Mount Rainier: Sunrise

About 104 miles (2h 30min) from home. The Sunrise (6400 feet, map) is the north side of the Mount Rainier.
 
The entrance ticket ($15) is valid for 7 days. We took less time (and less gas) coming back than going up.
