I don't think I posted this yet, so here are a couple of those water planes shortly after landing on Lake Union:

Then I was restless so I went back out shortly after 8pm for another Sky Train spin:

Day 5 was our earliest start ever, as we had to meet at KSS very early to catch the 7:40 AM departure of Amtrak Cascades #510. Thirteen of us left Seattle, but Mark got off in Bellingham, and returned to Seattle tonight on #517.
Only I didn't . It was a total fiasco. I arrived ten minutes before schedule departure which was to be 7:40 PM. Waiting pax were told that there was a delay at the border and the dogs were aboard the train sniffing for contraband. At about 8 we got word that the train had begun to moved toward Bellingham. Then "a bit of bad news" around 8:20 to the effect that the 517 was stuck behind a disabled coal train with no scheuled time of arrival in BEL. A Greyhound bus--also detained at the border--arrived late at the Bellingham intermodal terminal at about 9:15. With no guarantee I would not get to KSS until the wee hours (my car was some distance away and at those hours I would have had to take a taxi to get to it), I jumped--however reluctantly--on the bus at the last minute and arrived in Seattle about 45 minutes after I would have by train. I hope and pray you will not fall victim to such a disaster tonight. I am planning on meeting the train at KSS..
