Last Wednesday I went to my second Mariners game (this one was against Pittsburgh) since I've been in town. This time, though, I sat in the firm's suite instead of the centerfield bleachers. Notice the view. For this game, though, the roof didn't need to be moved into position. For those of you not familiar with Safeco Field, it's not a dome, nor does it have a collapsible roof. Rather, the entire roof sits behind center and right field (in one enormous section - that's it in the upper right) and slides over the field in the event of rain.
Anyway, Saturday morning was spent at a firm volunteer activity at a clothing distribution warehouse for foster kids. Saturday afternoon was spent at REI's Seattle's flagship store. I normally wouldn't take pictures of a store, but this store is pretty special. First of all, you can't really tell it's a store from the street if you approach from the right side. It's surrounded by trees and brush (in downtown Seattle). It is encircled by a mountain bike test track and has the most impressive landscaping of any store....ever. On the inside is every outdoor product currently in production. They have an interior climbing wall ("The Pinnacle"). "So what?", you say--lots of places have one. Well, this one is 65-feet high and terminates in a glass tower. The Denver store is nice, but this one is nicer.
That's all for now.
