Yes, it's true. The other day Brett mentioned that he may want to live in Seattle when we are done with school, so I started doing some research. First of all, I found out that the University of Washington has the number 4 program in the nation for what Brett wants to do, which is awesome. After I found that out I started looking for some more information about the city itself. I started with weather, and it turns out that the average temperature in June and July is 75 degrees. 75! That is so amazing. But the best was yet to come. I found Pike Place Market. Brace yourself.
I love food and I love to cook, so naturally Farmer's Markets and exotic and fresh ingredients are some of my favorite things. I could not believe how amazing this market is! They have all kinds of produce, meats, and anything else you could possibly imagine needing. They have a whole store dedicated to spices, and another completely for products made from blueberries.
They also have a ton of pastry shops (including French and Russian), more than 50 restaurants, and a ton of other kinds of shops of random stuff (not food). I am so excited to take a trip out there so that I can go to this market.
I am sure that Brett will be horrified when we go, because he hates shopping for long periods of time, and I have an inkling that this place could take a whole day for me. I don't think I have ever heard of a place as cool as this before as far as food goes. I can't wait to delve in and see what I find! It may be a while yet, but I'm sold on the idea of Seattle.My friend Noelle is currently having fun in Costa Rica, but since she grew up in Seattle, maybe she'll be able to tell me a little bit more about it (as well as the city itself)!

Wow, sounds like you have quite an adventure ahead of you! That is quite amazing. And by the way, what is your cute hubby in school for, I don't seem to know!! The Bernini post is incredible by the way!
I was born near Seattle, and let me tell you, it is all it's cracked up to be!!! Kris also grew up close to Seattle, actually in the same city as Noelle, in Redmond. The area is beautiful and green with tons of outdoor activities to do, and of course Pikes is awesome. Every time I go up there, it is a priority to hit the market. The only downside of the Seattle area is the real estate- home prices are sky high and then of course, the rain... But, Seattle is a really cool city, and I would envy you if you got to live there!!
Nice. I found your blog off of Lindsey's. I love finding fellow bloggers I know.
I (Kyra) also grew up close to Seattle, and I absolutely loved it. Sure, it rains a lot, but not as much as the midwest (as I have found for myself since moving out here). Pike's Place Market is great, and we always took friends and relatives visiting from out of town to see the market and the flying fish! U Dub is a fabulous school, too, so I recommend it all!
