Seattle, in August
In August, I went back to Seattle with my partner, for four days this time. (See May photos).
Day 1
We walked around the city and pier, and did some shopping. I pushed my Tri-X film +1 and didn’t like the results.

Researching where to go.
Day 2
We visited the library (beautiful!) and the art museum (not pictured).

Day 4
We were fortunate to visit Ludi’s Restaurant & Lounge, a Filipino diner, during its last few weeks of business. Here’s an article that talks about its impact on the local community.

Our last stop was the University of Washington, which was as beautiful as I had heard. Since it was summer, campus wasn’t busy.

We visited the Suzzallo Library, i.e. the library with the Harry Potter room. We ended up staying there for a few hours because we were tired, and it made for a quiet and comfortable place to sit and edit photos.
