I've been to Seattle countless times but this was the first time I rode a train to get there! The Amtrak King St. station is located on the SE edge of Pioneer Square so my friend and I spent our afternoon in Seattle visiting about a dozen art galleries clustered in the area. Of course we also went to the Paper Cat and Elliot Bay Bookstore, that's mandatory.

I would have taken more photos but I didn't bring spare batteries with me and apparently the rechargables in the camera weren't as recharged as I thought.

Here's a map of the Pioneer Square area:
