Hockey Night In Seattle

gmjambear and I decided we needed to get out of the apartment yesterday, so we went to Key Arena for the first time to see the Seattle Thunderbirds face off against the Portland Winter Hawks. ( Bears in the stands, the shortcomings of Key Arena, and a trip to Queen Anne... )

We'd just had bratwurst for dinner, so as we got back to Renton we stopped in for a snack at Shari's, a nice little all-night diner out on the Maple Valley Road by the 405. Not a bad way to spend an evening.
