Holly at Girl About Town is hosting a fantastic fun blogfest today. There’s still time to sign up if you want to join in. The point is…describe your favorite city.

This is something a lot of people used to know about me, but not so many do any more. My favorite city ever is Seattle, WA.

The first time I visited I was maybe 21 or 22. We drove straight through from Utah and slept in rest stops along the way. The trip there…abysmal. Idaho and eastern Oregon are not the most beauteous places on the planet. But when we got to Seattle…

…imagine highways lined with trees, beaches that are the same, and a city right on the water-line. It’s on the ocean, it’s green, and oh yeah, there are some stunning mountains. Something I start to miss when they’re gone since I grew up surrounded by them.

And it’s all within a short drive.

You can take the ferries out to the islands, you can roam the fish markets, or you can wander city streets lined with amazing shops or an epic metropolotin area.

And you’ve got more a huge chance of getting caught in a rainstorm and to me, there are few things more appealing than the thougth of being surrounded by trees and mountains and beaches and enjoying an afternoon storm.

So…go play along…what’s your favorite city? (real, imagined, and whether you’ve visited or not).
