I finally wrapped up my three days of Seattle business trip. I've became a frequent Seattle travler for the past year. Although the image of Seattle is "Rain", however, so far, I had all good weather everytime I visit. My co-workers always thank me for bringing them Sunshine from Southern CA. It's so true about "Sleepless Seattle"- for the past few days, I was having a hard time falling sleep at night - so happy to be home and in my own bed now 
On Tuesday, my boss took the managment team out for dinner and the ferry ride. The weather was beautiful and can see the clear Seattle city view. The ferry ride took about 30 minutes each way. Lots of commuter during the rush hours. I can't image people who live in the island that depend on ferry day in and day out. what if the ferry workers go on strike? The ferry ride did reminds me of Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy- when he was riding a ferry in Seattle.
Seattle is a pretty city- this view kinds of remind me of NYC.
I didn't do much tourist route- since I've been to Seattle for many times already. We did walk to Pike Market Place with few co-workers. But too bad, it was closed alreayd. I actaully not sure what's the big deal about Pike Marketplace. There are tons of Open market in Taiwan.....the same smell...
We stopped by the 1st original Starbucks right on Pike Pl
Did you notice that the original Starbucks Label is in Brown not Green?
BTW, in my company's new Office Building in Seattle, thee will be a largest Starbucks in the world-4000 square feet all wired .... Here are the Seattle office building.
The left is the currnet building and the left is the new one. Personally, I think the current building is much nicer and more unique.
Don't you think it's a nice building?
I did't stay in downtown. My company has it's own leadership conference center, Cedarbrook, right by SeaTec airport. http://www.cedarbrookcenter.com/default.aspx?SecID=102
We are required to stay there. I actaully like Cedarbrook. The staffs are very friendly, and the place is clean and feel like a retreat resort. The best part is, free drink and food in each floor 24/7, you will never be hungry if you stay there.
Sorry....I didn't take a lot of pictures of the hotel...since I need to act professionally for the business and not like a tourist...
But I did take few pictures inside my room 
The study area
The bathroom (very clean)
Here is the famous Cedar Duck......Every bathroom here has a Cedar Duck....
The view of my room - Very Green
So glad the trip is over.....The funny thing is that I ran into my old co-worker from previous company at SeaTec airport. Such a small world.
So tired....need to go to bed now....bye
