My trip last week (/two days ago) was so fun that I figured I would share a blog post about it! This was my second time to Seattle but first to Portland and this was such a fun, activity-filled trip!  Bill Speidel's Underground Tour : This was recommended to me by a friend and SO much fun!

Because of this, you now have the chance to go Underground and see some of the old businesses and buildings. They had a gift shop at the end of the tour and, of course, I had to pick up the book that was banned from schools :) A little bit of curiosity never hurt anyone, right?  As we walked out and browsed the city of Seattle, this is what we saw: Space Needle : The view was phenomenal!
