Pacific Northwest April-May 2023
We got up early and drove to Seattle. We dropped Karen off at her townhouse and Peg, William, and Elaine proceeded downtown to visit MOHAI on Beth’s recommendation. It was wonderful and presented artifacts depicting the history of Seattle and environs.

In addition to artifacts of history, including the first kidney dialysis machine, a collection of original Microsoft software, and a van crushed by the 6.8 magnitude quake in 2001, MOHAI houses the Bezos Center for Innovation. Still in its infancy, the Center promises to support innovators.
Seattle has a Canada goose problem just like Michigan. But they’re so cute.
The Center for Wooden Boats promotes Northwest maritime heritage through education and hands-on experience. Using historic designs, they build, maintain, and travel in small watercraft.
Peg and the docent discuss a rowboat in the process of being built.
