Scenes from a Typical Work Day in Seattle

 As bad as the traffic is, we feel very lucky to spend some extra time together chatting in the car, listening to music or NPR, and taking in the scenery.

On a clear day, we can see Mount Rainier looming in the distance.

As we approach the exit to Mike's office, we are reminded by the Space Needle that we really do work in Seattle now.

I work in the area of Seattle that doesn't get any love on postcards, but the business and industrial activities here defined the city long before Amazon and Google came into town.

The train tracks run between my office and the Starbucks HQ.
