Field Trip to Seattle By K and A.
As we rode up the Space Needle, we watched the world beneath us become smaller and smaller as the Seattle skyline came into view. We felt our ears pop as we peered through the elevator’s windows. To get to Seattle, we had to take a forty-five minute bus ride from Holden Village to Lucerne, then ferry for an hour to Field’s Point, where we got in cars and drove for almost four hours before Seattle’s skyscrapers engulfed us in a forest of glass, concrete, and steel. We stayed in a city less than a week, but during that time, we had many great adventures: from watching sea jellies at the Seattle Aquarium to strumming giant guitars at the Pacific Science Center. We explored the world’s fastest transport plane at the Museum of Flight, sweated at the Seattle Zoo, and witnessed the carnage of Shakespeare’s King Lear. We listened to the Seattle Symphony and applauded at John Lill’s piano concert. We learned and listened and saw, but some of our favorite moments were moments like the one on the Space Needle: moments where we got to witness the city’s skyline, add to the Post Alley “gum wall”, crack open fresh sea food at the Crab Pot, walk along the Puget Sound, and peer out at Mount Rainier and Mount Baker.
