Seattle Sorted

I left Vancouver yesterday and got the bus down to Seattle. Unfortunately all the accommodation was sold out or too expensive so I went straight on to Portland. I did have an hour and a half window to leg it round Seattle. I managed to get to Pike Place Market, up to the Space Needle, and have a Starbucks coffee. Seattle seemed quite a bit like San Francisco, if less touristy and pretty.
On a side note if you plan to stay in the Green Tortoise Hostel in Seattle make sure it is open. If you ring them they have an answerphone message saying that they have lost their lease, however this is not mentioned on the website where you can book online.
