Seattle Weekend Reconnaissance Trip

We have been planning on making a quick trip up to Seattle to check out the various neighborhoods and get a feel for the city, so we can make more informed decisions when it comes to looking for a place to live here in a few months.
Coincidentally my good friend Tyler was up in Seattle this past weekend trying out the city for himself, so we made the 3 hours journey up to hang out and tour around. Just like Portland, Seattle has many very different neighborhoods, each with their own flavor and affordability. We checked out several neighborhoods that were recommended by some friends (Ballard, Fremont, Wallingford), and then walked around the downtown area of the city. We went to a huge record store with something like half a million records, checked out some restaurants, saw (looked at) the space needle, ended up in some crappy tourist-trap areas (most of which, I will never go back to), and had a great time wandering around.

It was great to see Tyler and hang out in a new city.
