Trip to Seattle

June 30, 2026

Today, my dad, mom, and I arrived at the Seatac airport, in the state of Washington. The flight there was long and boring, as we departed in IAH, Houston and there was no screen on the Boeing 737-900. The flight wasn’t the worst, because we got free biscoff biscuits and a drink, in my case, Sprite, as it is my favorite beverage.

When we arrived at the airport, we went to baggage claim. The silly thing is, that they said that the loop was 15 but it changed to another loop! After we claimed our bags, we boarded the LINK train line 1 to the Westlake station. We arrived, and went to the Hyatt Regency hotel. It was a big hotel with 47 floors. After Dad checked in, we went to our room, on floor 20. The surprising thing was that Dad got a Sprite for logging in to Hyatt!

When Dad worked, Mom and I decided to go to the Pacific Science Center. We boarded the monorail there, and when we got there, we realized that there was a big playground over there. When we got to the museum, Mom got us a general ticket and a free add-on to Movie magic at the LaserDome. After the show, we went to the Artemis Adventure with Lego™ bricks. Over there, I built a concept Mars base that I think was cool and modern.

After, we went into the main building, which was a bit too complex and ungrouped. We went into the butterfly center, and it was good, as we saw a lot (I think about 1,000 were in the exhibit) of butterflies. Then, when we went back to the station, I decided to play in the playground. There was a lot to play with, but my favorite is the rope course.

Then, we went to the ocean, where we looked around in the olympic park, and the sculptures included the chinese zodiac and 9 (weird) mini golf courses! Then, we boarded the monorail back to Westlake, but this time we sat in the front, and I even got to use the horn of the train!

Then, I did math, and when Dad was checking my work, his pen fell into the gap and when I fished it out, he decided that I should get a shift of Minecraft, but first we had to go to dinner with my dad’s friend. After dinner, I played Minecraft, where I made a battle between my tamed wolves and untamed wolves. Then, Dad finished checking my work, and I did a silly mistake: While doing a division problem, I got a correct answer of 9, but when I copied it, the 9 turned into a 4!

Today, we went to the Boeing factory in Everett, Seattle. To get there from our Hyatt Regency hotel, we boarded the Link line 1 to the Lynwood City Center. There, we boarded an Uber car to the Boeing Museum. When we got to the museum, we checked in and went to the waiting room for the tour to the Everett Factory.

We took a bus to the factory and went across and under the only privately owned bridge in all of Washington State! All Boeing airplanes made at the factory crossed the bridge. When we arrived, we went into one of the equipment lanes. It was more than one mile long, and still was the shortest!

Then, we went in a strange elevator, up to the observation deck. We saw the construction of the 777, in bay 5 (there were 6 bays in total), and the airplane was distinct for its folding wing tips because its wings were too large for most aircraft. Then, after the guide explained how the Boeing 777 was assembled, we saw the empty bay 6 (it used to be another bay to manufacture the 777).

Finally, we went down the elevator and went back to the museum. Finally, after exploring the museum, we went back to the hotel.

Today, we left Seattle for Vancouver. First, we got to the Greyhound bus stop. After waiting for the bus to depart, we left for another station. At that station, my mom and I explored the train platform, as the station also was an Amtrak station.

Then, we rode even longer until we met the Canada-USA checkpoint. Then, we drove even longer until we finally reached our destination. At the station, we called an Uber car with a driver that has a 4.999 star rating, though he couldn’t find the station.

It was rainy, and we had to take the train to a rental car station. Finally, we drove to our house that we stayed in.

Finished!
