My final Seattle napkin
Seattle is the land of coffee. You know that old driving game where you hit the person next to you when you see a Volkswagen Beetle? We played it with Starbucks stores. There are a LOT of Starbucks stores, including the first one ever, in Seattle.
Caitlin was crazy excited to go to the first Starbucks. It was #2 on her list of things to see, just below watching guys throwing fish at Pikes Place Market.

Tomorrow I will be back on board with a new napkin!

TOTEMS
We took a high speed ferry to Victoria, British Columbia from Seattle this week. We went to the Royal B.C. Museum and saw quite a few Totem poles. This is my napkin drawing of 4 imaginary poles.

SEATTLE = COFFEE
Cute little coffee joint in the Queen Anne District of Seattle where I am getting my early morning coffee before Linda and Caitlin are awake. Local and cool.
I tried drawing the first barista but she didn’t look anything like this ‘Dolly Parton’ version I ended up with.
While I watched the world go by I had my first taste of 6 hour cold brew Kyoto coffee. Served cold. It was fantastic, sweet almost, not bitter.
I drew this one the next day of the other barista. I was all set to spend an hour or so reading and drawing but Linda and Caitlin called. They were up and ready to eat breakfast so off I went. Luckily I got this quick drawing in first.

This is a napkin from ‘Toulouse Petite’, a GREAT restaurant in Seattle where we had our first meal after our arrival this morning. The single best salad I have ever had, IN MY LIFE, was eaten there. It was a Yellow Beet and Haricort Vert salad with Nicoise olives and Stilton Cheese. YUM in the extreme! The rest of the meal was almost equally out of this world!
But what made it even more special was this tattoo.
I noticed it on our waitress and I told Caitlin and Linda I bet it was a Boeing airplane. I knew that Boeing is one of the biggest employers in Seattle so I had a feeling there might be a connection. Sure enough, when I asked the waitress if it was she said “Yes, my grandparents met at Boeing. They carpooled to work, that is how they met.” I asked if that was why she had the tattoo done and it was.
I love that! This young, hip, trendy, cool waitress had honored her grandparents relationship and love in a wonderfully creative way for all the world to see.
It made the meal all the better.
