About Storybook Ending. . .A charming story about romance, friendship, and a love of books, in which two women—a lonely remote worker and a widowed single mom—and a handsome local bookstore clerk find themselves in an unusual love triangle when an anonymous note left in a book finds the wrong recipient.
April, a smart and lonely tech worker, worries work from home has gotten out of hand: She’s left an anonymous note in a book for Westley, the clerk at her Seattle neighborhood bookstore who has a gentle smile and looks great in flannel. But thanks to fate, Laura—a busy single mom who had given up on love—buys the book, finds the note, and thinks Westley has left it for her. A handsome man who loves books seems like just the plot twist she has been looking for.
Meanwhile, Westley—not the most perceptive—is too distracted by the movie filming at the store and the ambition it’s unlocked in him to notice either of the two women. But as April and Laura’s anonymous correspondence continues back and forth, their mundane routines are challenged, sparking a glimmer of hope. Is a happy ending in the cards for them?

I got a 3 in 1 ticket for Chihuly Museum + Space Needle + Xmas market that was a great deal.  space needle has been renovated and has a glass floors that you can look down. Not for people who are afraid of heights . it was very cold out on the outside circle, but the view was very good. Make sure to check the weather on the online WebCam.

Chihuly Garden and Glass

Elbik

Its an incredible art gallery that showcases the brilliance of Dale Chihuly&rsquo;s work. The vibrant combination of colors and glass creates a mesmerizing experience, truly highlighting the artist&rsquo;s creative genius. The way the gallery is designed, with its dark, minimalist layout, allows the artwork to shine even more, giving each piece its own unique presence.

The Seattle Museum of Flight is located next to Boeing. It is divided into two exhibition areas, indoor and outdoor, and mainly displays Boeing products: from transport aircraft, fighter jets to passenger aircraft. There is also a wax figure of Premier Zhou and Nixon shaking hands, with the background being the Air Force One that Nixon took during his first visit to China in 1972.

The learning atmosphere is great, and it is a good university for studying. The cost-effectiveness of tuition fees can be improved... Children can come here for summer camps to experience the atmosphere of a world-renowned university. The natural scenery here is also great. You can sit on the grass and read quietly under the blue sky on weekends...
