Seattle was amazing!
I find it to be the perfect mix of San Francisco and Portland, ME.

Mount Rainier from the plane
1st thing I did in Seattle. Get myself some Seattle's Best for my cab ride to the convention center, yum!I had a goldfish *Delilah Jovan was her name* delivered to my hotel room.
Yep, Hotel Monaco offers you a "pet" for your stay... How could I resist that?!Polar Bear at the Green FestivalSpace Needle
I created some free time and found myself at Pike's Place MarketHollie and I grabbed some sushi from Whole Foods and ate it outside the market on the waterfront... and yes, we shared a Gaterade. How cute!
Original Starbucks
Check out all of those people taking pictures...Yep, I was one of them a minute later!
This dude's playing guitar, harmonica AND hula hooping all at once!
Gorgeous tulips in the public market
We got back to our hotel just in time for the Managers Reception, fancy for free wine hour!
Damn right it is!
We did a bar crawl after work one night, of which I didn't take pictures of. Hollie forgot her ID and that became a bit problematic, but we cabbed it back to the hotel, got her ID and continued on the bar crawl... My favorite bar was J&M, the oldest bar in Seattle.

We also went out to a nice team dinner at Cutters Bayhouse, which overlooks the water. I had fresh Alaskan Halibut, a potato cake and asparagus with a couple glasses of Cab -- to say it was an unforgettable meal is entirely an understatement. My meal was phenomenal!

If anyone is in the market for a "green" vehicle, hit me up. I know everything there is to know about the Fiesta, Escape Hybrid, Fusion Hybrid, Focus BEV (all electric vehicle), Transit Connect, Lincoln MKZ Hybrid and the MKX Hybrid. Yeah, I'm cool like that!
