On Instagram, I often hashtag #Seattleasalocal but it is sometimes fun to play the role of a tourist in your own city.
By tourism, I mean wandering in a neighborhood with no map or agenda.
Here is what I liked around Pioneer Square last week.
On Occidental Park, you can see the inside of a shipping container decorated with painting and lighting. It features Seattle in the 20’s and the exterior features the Pacific Northwest forest.
“History, Contained”: 8:30 a.m.–6:30 p.m. every day till the end of December.


It was windy and cold at lunch time, we stopped at Grand Central Bakery for warm comforting soups and tasty sandwiches.
