The trip began with a flight to Seattle, followed very shortly
by another trip up into the air, this time aboard an elevator
to the observation deck 520 feet above the ground in the
 
Space Needle

Downtown Seattle

Leaving Seattle behind -- and soon divided highways, too --
the journey ahead takes us through mile after mile of
evergreen-covered hills en route west to the Pacific coast.
