Puget Sound .... for real this time!

OK, now that I am back at my computer and not trying to do this through my iphone, I WILL have success and hopefully you will enjoy the tour!  For those of you who visited yesterday, my apologies!


If you make it to Seattle, Washington, hop on a tour boat for a cruise of the Sound and the waterways. I promise you that you won't be disappointed!

Shipping yards certainly make up a portion of the shoreline.

 

 As the tour boat pulls away from the shore and you take a look back ... look up, up, up.  That "thing" in the clouds is Mt. Rainer!

 It is hard to believe the size of that mountain!

         What a beautiful backdrop. It still gives me goose bumps to see it ... even in my picture. 

   

Next, we enter the waterway ... passing through a set of locks .... complete with jumping fish.

We pass by residential sections of Seatlle .... 

... dry docks for ship repair .....

 ... old factory sites turned into parks ....

.... and then the most intersting section of all ... the boat houses!For anyone who has seen the movie  "Sleepless in Seattle", you'll recognize this particular boathouse!!!!! 

Seattle is a lovely, friendly, beautiful and interesting city.  Puget Sound just adds to the allure!
                                                     Hope you enjoyed!
