Sleepless in Seattle

I'm not quite sure what makes me drawn to this city, but it's somewhere where I want to go every summer. I want to see the scenic views from the Space Needle. Catch a game at Safeco field and maybe even against the Bluejays. Learn about music at the Experience. Watch fishermen throw fish at the Public Market. Be a spectator at the Bumbershoot Festival. Indulge in the Filipino spirit at Pista Sa Nayon. Have coffee at the very first Starbucks and grab a burger at the first Red Robin. Walk the grounds of the University of Washington and roam the streets of downtown Seattle. This all adds up to a trip I want to take. And to think this all adds up to a trip I want to take just a few hours south of the border. Soon enough I'll discover it's "character" and maybe even what makes the city sleepless.
