PNW Adventure (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver)

Yaoum.

Paradox21 decided to visit the region because he'd never been. I had some extra cash lying around so I said, what the hey. Portland is the small big city, Vancouver is the big small city, and Seattle is medium city with the big metro.

Says it all

Its like some sort of desolated nightmare carnival.

Across the street.....

I don't even know. Maybe one day I'll do a supermarket tour.

Its the fruit market elves.

Seattle's white knight

Stole his big brother's warmup shorts.

Goddamit, we met up with this homeless cat who just happened to be from the South Side of Chicago goddamit, and we were desperate for some goddamn liquor goddamit so we said screw it and let him lead us goddamit to a liquor store. I didn't know liquor stores were that hard to find goddamit. We gave him a couple of dollars goddamit just to get him to stop talking to us and saying Goddamit every 5 seconds goddamit.

The night's complete.

On the Amtrak, which was scenic.......one one side.

Oh shit. Portland is the Philadelphia of Seattle.

Little Zip line like thing with Toronto-esque development near the station.

See.

Whats the difference between a soccer mom and a pig? Lipstick.

Its like Hollywood with Palm Trees.

Least invasive expressway entrance ever.

Off to Vancouver.

I don't trust food from something that looks like that.

Goddamn people.

Into the posh section.

Looks like a relic from a forgotten era.

Gotcha!

Hatred in her eyes for the our other photographer.

Jada and I at some sort of plate concoction with some oblong meat thing that was good.

Looks like some kind of Star Trek launching pad.

Back into Seatown.

I had to leave to return to work, but Paradox21 stayed around the rest of the dasy and took lots of neighborhood photos you'll never see.

Absolutely beautiful! You definitely captured perspectives of all three cities I've never seen before. I need to get up to Portland and Vancouver. Seattle looks great as always. Thanks!

Why do you call Portland a small big city? Both Vancouver and Seattle are larger than Portland and both Vancouver and Seattle's Metro populations are bigger than Metro Portland's.

Some serious shit right here. Yup.

How did that hip hop open mike go in Kitsilano? Was Snak the Ripper there?

You make all three look good! Which they are.

Well done! Every photo had something interesting. That's a slightly different view of Vancouver, which can be refreshing even if the subject matter is a little on the dark side.
