Can't go to Seattle without visiting the Chihuly Garden.
Chihuly Garden and Glass is a museum in the Seattle Center showcasing the studio glass of Dale Chihuly.

Vacay For Less Hosts Its Members in Seattle
New home for Punk Rock Flea Market May 7th. Needs walls, plumbing, the works! Pretty stoked I got to see all the creepy places. Sadly, never had the pleasure of seeing her in all her glory, ha! Definitely miss the marquee lines though! Very cheeky! Cheers to a new beginning!
Kraken Congee
Kraken Congee
88 Yesler Way, Seattle, WA 98104
206.748.9999
This afternoon I decided to try out Kraken Congee. It is located near the corner of 1st Avenue and Yesler Way near Pioneer Square. Nestled underneath The Faerie Queen restaurant, Kraken Congee features Asian comfort foods with a unique global flare. As you descend downstairs, you will find an ambiance where industrial-meets-modern. I came for lunch where the lighting was dimmed because a high street window let natural light filter through.
I was seated by Garret Doherty, one of the two owners and chefs of the restaurant. We had a short and pleasant conversation. I had asked him how he came upon cuisine from the Philippines. He told me that his wife, who is Filipino, loved her mother’s cooking so much, she too had a desire for their children to grow up with traditional Filipino food. That was when Garrett researched, studied, and taught himself how to cook and create both the traditional and unique dishes you see on the menu.
What I ordered:
Bang Bang Shrimp Pinch Buns with Cucumber, Tobiko and Chives - The shrimp alone was crunchy with a good flavor and the bun had a good flavor as well. However, I feel as if the shrimp’s sauce was masked when you take a bite out of the whole thing.
Five Spice Duck Confit with Pork Cracklings, Bok Choy, Soy Cured Egg Yolk, and Beet Soaked Mustard Seed - The duck was delicious. It was savory and the soy cured egg was a good touch. I just wished there was more duck, egg, and even bok choy to eat with the rice congee.
Hood Famous Bakeshop’s Ube Cheesecake - Wonderful idea with a fantastic mango puree. The cream cheese flavor over powers the ube flavor. If it were created with a 1:1 flavor ratio, this dessert, I think, would be my favorite!
In the end, I’d definitely visit again and try other things on the menu.
Last weekend, the weather was nice. A bit chilly, but sun was out and a little bit of rain had made the city sparkle like a crystal does when sun rays falls on it. The roads were shining, the rain drops fell from roof tops, the air was crisp and was just a perfect evening to explore Seattle. We have been in Seattle for a long time now, and I still feel that there is a lot to be explored in this Rain City- the parks, definitely being one of the items on the list.
Paying our respects to the weather, we wanted to go out and what else to better than a park, hence, I did a random search of “Parks in Seattle” and Wikipedia has an amazing list. Golden Gardens sounded apt considering, the entire city was bathed in the golden rays from the sun and mixed with after rain ambiance.
The park is in the Ballard neighborhood of the city and is one of the most popular parks with a beautiful beach (I was surprised, in-spite of living so close to it, how I had never heard about this park). It was an amazing evening. The park overlooks the Olympic mountains. People were playing volleyball, enjoying the beach with their loved ones, sleeping on the hammock, walking on the trail and there was a boat race as well.
Things to do at Golden Gardens Park
The park has variety of landscape to offer and is just a perfect place to be on a sunny evening. There is a fresh water marsh near the north end of the park. Has a perfect beach which is not that crowded for kids to play and families to have a picnic. Barbecue area, fire pits, volleyball nets, a sparsely forested area,
Just a perfect place to be and watch the sun set.
