Beautiful Seattle - home of the Coast Salish people, innovation, and fun

I have enjoyed exploring Seattle while getting over jetlag with Holly McAlister, my PhD student and my husband. I have enjoyed and learning more about the traditions of the Coast Salish people - particularly at the Seattle Children's Museum. Seattle has gorgeous scenery and is also the home of many innovative companies including Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing, and Alaska Airlines.

The Fish! Philosophy (https://fishphilosophy.com/what-is-fish/) is also from the Pike Place Fish Market Seattle. The central four ideas are:

• play
• be there
• make their day
• choose your attitude

Note the shadow of the Space Needle -
