Creator's Key Takeaways

it is day one and we are having an amazing time

we are really close if you haven't been to Pike Place Market before it's kind of the famous market here in Seattle

I'm really impressed because we didn't wait in any line at all we've just been going from thing to thing to thing

the service was amazing we had reservations for 5:45 we couldn't get a seat by the window as they started taking reservations at 5:00 but they still put as close to the window as they could
