Finally we visited the Olympic Sculpture Park! It wasn't as wonderful as I anticipated, but I did enjoy that Seattle obviously wanted this art to be public and accessible to people. I enjoyed the setting of the sculptures, especially how the terraced paths led down toward the Sound. The sculptures were hit and miss for me.
After the sculpture park we visited what I think was Paul's favorite part of the day. Gas Works Park, located north of downtown, is the former site of a Gas company that the city turned into a park. The remnants of the facility - now fenced off and left to rust - are strangely beautiful in a post-industrial kind of way.
Once we finished at the park, we were off to Chelan! The drive was beautiful, especially the mountain passes, but the rain was aggravating and at times torrential. Next stop: Holden Village for a week of true vacationing - or as Paul puts it, "Doing as little as possible for a week."
