Seattle area? Pretty city, very nice people but just too grey for my liking. Portland was NO better! I liked the Mall in Seattle. I forget what it was called. Its near the waterfront and has a whole lot of shops in it--food stands, fish stalls, etc. And no, I didn't get the chance to find where UPS was founded. I went looking for it after dark and the neighborhood it was in didn't seem that great. -Rocky
