Seattle is one of my favorite cities. I love this vibrant city by the sea.

I have been coming up here for years, and I must say, I am always welcomed by beautiful weather and happy to continue my lucky streak.

Sunny, not too hot, we embraced this beautiful city and enjoyed it.

The first thing we did is take a long walk alongside the wharf. This is all new since the last time I visited. The freeway overpass was removed to lead way to a beautiful walking area, filled with shops and restaurants.

Going to Pike’s Public Market has always been my favorite.

It filled with stalls. It is almost impossible to walk away without buying something.

Artists of all sorts: weavers, painters, silversmiths, wood makers. And of course all sorts of beautiful flowers, flowers bouquets, fish, food…

The fun part is to see the fish being passed from one fishmonger to another.
Playing with my camera setting and truly enjoyed this black and white, what do you think?

The color of those peonies and sunflowers are unique.

Did someone mention fish?

But what is close to my heart is the original “Sur La Table” store.

Love this store. I first shopped at Sur La Table when it was only one privately owned store.

That tells you how long ago. Here with all the great cooking gadgets, pots, and pans, something inside of me created this considerable desire to cook.

Where I purchased my first ‘Le Creuset”. I used to call this store to purchase more Le Creuset.

The beginning of a grand love affair with cooking and where the idea of Giangi’s Kitchen started.
