Earlier this month took a trip to Seattle, more specifically to explore the areas surrounding Seattle. One of our goals for the future is to find a place to live that has more greenery and nature (which isn’t that hard to do when compared with the concrete jungle of LA).

After a bit of a delay with our first flight and our connecting flight, we landed at SeaTac after 11 pm. We grabbed our rental car and then started our way over to that night’s accommodations in Tacoma. Leaving the airport we were first hit with some mild snow that quickly turned to rain and then finally drizzle by the time we arrived at the Silvercloud Hotel Tacoma – Waterfront. Luckily their front desk is staffed 24/7 and we were greeted and checked in quickly.

When we got up in the morning, we were greeted to some spectacular water views from our hotel windows. Luckily the rain was holding off and it was just overcast. The Silver Cloud hotel had some fairly standard fare food for free breakfast and then we were off. We decided to go check out Gig Harbor first (not as somewhere we’d be thinking of moving but just to see the quaint little village). This sleepy hamlet was cute and it was quiet (we were there on a Tuesday morning).
