When Jerry had an opportunity to work the Seattle PAX consumer show and said I could tag along I jumped at the chance. I\u2019ve been up to the Seattle Washington area many times for work but I\u2019ve never had a chance to spend time in the city. Last week was finally my chance.<\/p>\n<p>The highlight of the trip was getting to have lunch with a longtime family friend and my hero, Patricia Levin. August has been my month of reunions and reflection and ending it with a get together with Pat was just what I needed.<\/p>\n<p>I spent the rest of the weekend bopping around downtown Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite place to walk was Pikes Public Market. I went there every morning for a cup of coffee and any other treat I could get my hands on. In the evenings when Jerry got off work we walked down here as well and had some fantastic dinners. Seattle is definitely a food town!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ladyjessop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Public-Market.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Public Market\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Public Market\" src=\"http:\/\/ladyjessop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Public-Market_thumb.jpg\" width=\"244\" height=\"244\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I also took the monorail to Seattle Center.
