Pacific Northwest Trip - Seattle, Portland and San Juan Island

Lindsey and I took a week and half trip to the Pacific Northwest. We had to pickup our rental car in the SEATAC parking garage. It took me about five minutes to realize that we were outdoors. The weather was that comfortable. The warmest it got on the trip was 80 degrees. A barista even asked me if I wanted a iced coffee because it 'was so hot out.'
