The first time I went to this place — 12 months ago
In 1997 I started a new life, as it were, in this new city. I was staying a little inn called The Vermont, I believe it is on 4th Ave, maybe 5th. Anyway, arriving very late the previous evening, I didn’t have a chance to do much of anything, but sleep. I in fact didn’t even notice the Needle the night before.
But, the next morning as I awoke looking upside-down at the beautiful blue sky and this amazing structure perfectly framed in the window above my bed… It was simple and perfect. And lying there, I could only think, “I cannot wait to start living here.”
Seattle is a city full of great people and wonderful things. Be sure to do Sunday Brunch on the Needle, the food is OK, but the view is GREAT!
