We went to visit family for Christmas. When we arrived at Michelle’s place, she ‘d gotten a wonderful little tree for the apartment—lights and ornaments, too. This is the second time we’ve stayed here; her apartment is near a great park, an iconic neighborhood coffee shop, and several good restaurants. Green Lake is a twenty-minute walk; the light rail is only fifteen minutes away. You can be in downtown Seattle in just over half an hour—and not have to deal with traffic. Michelle’s place is perfect for a couple to stay at—and, if you like, bring a dog (treats will be waiting for it)! We will be back to visit nearby family, and we’ll hope to stay here.
