    Flat Stanley Visits Seattle

    Flat Stanley came to Seattle this weekend for a visit. He didn't have much time, so we had to hop in the car and go! Who's got the car keys?

    Seattle (actually, Redmond) is the home of Microsoft, where Andrew's uncle Scott works. Stanley gets his picture taken in front of the Microsoft sign, like all of the other tourists.

    Right next to Pike's Place Market is an alley where thousands of people have stuck their gum to the wall. It's called the 'gum wall'. Stanley thought that it was a little gross, but he got his appetite back quickly.

    Stanley walked down to the water. It was a nice day, so he decided to stop and feed the seagulls outside of Ivar's.
