The flight to Seattle was fairly uneventful, except the view of four Cascade Volcanoes: Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams, Mt. St. Helens, and the most spectacular, Mt. Rainier. I got some gorgeous pictures of it.
As soon as we landed in Seattle we went through security and left the terminal. Outside was part of Seattle's public transportation system. They had a light rail system running from the terminal all the way to downtown Seattle. For an all day ticket it cost us $5. So we took the train to downtown, and then bought a round trip ticket on the old mono-rail. I learned later the mono-rail was built during the year Seattle hosted the World's Fair. The same year the Space Needle was built.
The mono-rail took us all the way to the Space Needle. It was fun seeing it was I had never been up close to it before.
We bought tickets to take an elevator ride up to the top, and walk around on the observation deck.
We simply took the same route back to the airport, and were able to get on board the next flight out to Boise.
