We had another appointment in Seattle last week so we took the opportunity to do a little more sightseeing. We took I-90 across over Snoqualmie Pass and into Seattle. This main interstate was obviously a great road, but was also a very pretty drive through the Wenatchee and Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forests. We were a little early for the appointment so we attempted to drive around in Seattle to check it out. I've been anxious to go to Pike Place Market that I've heard so much about, as well as the other sites, but we were stuck in traffic in the middle of a Mariner's game....so much for our tour of Seattle! We finished up in Seattle and headed out of the Seattle metro area late in the afternoon and stayed at the little town of Enumclaw, the 'gateway' to Mt. Rainier National Park. The drive through the park was very pretty along the White River (the water really was whitish! - probably the minerals or fine rock from the glaciers), but we never did see Mt. Rainier except for a hazy glimpse from very far away. It was shrouded in clouds. The drive home from there was beautiful as well over Chinook Pass with the American River by our side most of the way.  I didn't get too many photos this trip, but there are a few in the "Mt. Rainier Area" album.
