Sightseeing in Seattle

I was in Seattle for a conference at the start of May 2004, and I managed to find a little time for sightseeing one day. In spite of its reputation for being overcast and rainly, the Seattle sun was shining on me all day!

	Finding Nemo? Exhibit at the aquarium, my first port of call.
	Shark!
	Bird swimming underwater - fast.
	Friendly Seals
	Sea Otter - just having a little rest...
	..."No, don't take a picture of me, I don't like cameras!"
	Sea otter in the water.
	A pile of sleeping river otters. Have you guessed yet that I like otters?
	No more otters, I promise. Seattle skyline from the water of Elliott Bay - I took a cruise to enjoy the sunshine and get a view of the city.
	Space Needle from the water.
	The city skyline.
	More skyline...
	BIG container ship unloading.
	The boat I took my little cruise on.
	Skyscraper in downtown Seattle.
	The Space Needle from below!
	Seattle and Elliott Bay from the top of the Space Needle.
	Lake Washington from the Space Needle - at this point I had to go back to my hotel and go to the conference center. Although the conference was interesting in a techie kind of way, I think it's for the best that I didn't take any photos of the biggest collection of geeks in the world!!!
