Thanks for the visit to my old life in Seattle. I moved clear across the country in 2015 to help my Mom stay struggle free in her home of 50 years. She passed in 2018 and I could not afford to go back to Seattle and in addition watched it from afar go down hill. It use to be fairly safe and without people struggling on the streets for the most part. I lived near Port Townsend, on a sailboat in Winslow and then Seattle.
Gald you had a nice visit in Seattle! Commercial bus travel in the US is not the same as in other countries. Currently, it typically serves those who don't have a means of personal transportation, can't rent a vehicle for whatever reason or can not afford to fly. And usually, the bus depot is now located in a less desirable part of a city. Yes, most restaurants have become a little pricy over here...as with almost everything else. I've lived in a couple cities in NC and discovered I'm not a city type of guy so I doubt I'll ever visit Seattle. lol I know I've made similar comments in the past, however, it bears repeating....you have such a beautiful command of language....you should really write a book!
Ah interesting, I definitely prefer train to bus if I'm going public transport but outwith cities trains don't seem so common in America. Glad to have had the city Seattle experience but happy to back in Scotland again. And thank you so much for your kind words, I've been trying to prioritise writing more recently. Will keep you posted! :)

Seattle - my dream, thank you 🤗
Wow! Beautiful scenery remembered from long ago visits to Seattle when we lived in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks !
Thank you for watching and commenting! :D Glad it brought back happy memories x
Been there, done (most of) that! But how did I miss The Crumpet Shop??

@@PilgrimKat I think trains are awesome!! Sadly, we have not kept most of our passager train system viable.
