After leaving our campground today we had to do some shopping at area stores now that we are back in the "big city". The Seattle area is amazing when it comes to abundance. It is a place full of delicious fruit and colorful flowers. Due to Boeing and Microsoft being located here it is a place of abundance of business opportunity also. Andy, who works for Microsoft, told us that there are about 30-35,000 employees here in Seattle that populate the area! That would be a city all unto itself! So that kind of work brings in dry cleaners, hardware stores, department stores, restaurants, etc. It is a VERY busy place. With it is also an abundance of cars, traffic delays, people and congestion. Though the tempertures are mild most all year round with clouds rolling in and then the sun is out for a little while so it remains at a steady 70 degrees, I don't think I could live here due to the noise and congestion. But the internet connection was fantastic!!! As it should be!

So after getting the shopping out of the way we moved down south, around Puget Sound and then back up north on the west side of the Sound, across from Seattle. We are staying in Port Angeles/Sequoim KOA campground which is only 15 minutes from the port on Puget Sound. We'll have to check that out tomorrow.
