Chihuly JB I must have gained 10 pounds this past week in Tacoma! How. . . you ask? Those of you that live in the Seattle area know how wonderful the food is. During our visit for the Puget Sound Bead Festival we indulged in the arts as well as all the wonderful seafood. The image to the right was taken from the ceiling of an outdoor bridge. Dale Chihuly is the famous Tacoma native glass artist. Visiting the glass museum and the glass art in Union Station was about all of the non fattening places Kevin and I visited. Well worth a look at all this wonderful glass artwork. It is simply breathtaking!!! As for our feeding fest that has led me to the treadmill and crudite. . . . The journey to Tacoma Cusine began at the Pacific Grill. They make the best sliders I have ever experienced. We went there twice just to make sure they were really that good.. . . . and, they were! Kevin couldn’t get enough crab cakes from C.I. Shenanigans on Ruston Way in Tacoma. It’s a waterfront restaurant with sensational seafood as well as the view. We stopped by the Sea Grill for their famous Wicked Shrimp after a long day at the show. Another of our favorites is Etta’s Seafood in Downtown Seattle as well as Anthony’s Pier 66. So if you are planning a trip to the Seattle area, make sure you check these places out as long as you don’t mind putting on a few extra pounds.
