From Kings to King

Thinking about Seattle

Photos of My First Year in Seattle 

     Our plane touched down at Sea-Tac airport around 11:35 p.m. on May 31^st, 2003. I was exhausted and excited. Carla, an ex-girlfriend, came with me to help me move out to Seattle. She really came to be a cat wrangler. Apparently when you travel by air there is a "one pet per person" policy. And since I had two cats, Pixie and Pollo, there had to be another person to be in charge of one of them. I really felt bad for my cats because by that time they had been in their cat carriers for about 7 hours and they were not having a good time. We went to get our luggage, pick-up the rental car I reserved and hopped on 1-5 north towards Seattle. We made our way to the Olive Way exit which led us to the Capitol Hill neighborhood. We turned left on Harvard Ave E and made it to The Marlene Renee apartments, my new home. After we brought everything inside and freed the cats, I went to the QFC a block a way to get a few supplies. The air was cool and thick with the smell of sweet flowers and I was very happy that this was my new home.
