There was no way I was fighting the Seattle traffic during Bumbershoot so it seemed best to head the opposite direction and across the border for a day in Vancouver.

Pike Place Market, Paddleboarding and Bite of Seattle
The weather was beautiful and hot again this past weekend but we had a great time exploring downtown Seattle both Saturday and Sunday with business colleagues and friends.
