I started The Day with a Car Wash, of course - It took 2 guys Many Minutes spraying "BugsOff"!
Then time for a visit to the Tacoma Art Museum. In September 2016, Wendy and visited the Museum of Glass here in Tacoma, but I must have blinked, because we missed the Art Museum:
Martin Blank - "Current", 1994 glass, reclaimed wood, and metal:
Edgar Payne - "Desert Clouds", circa 1930 oil:
Georgia O'Keeffe - "Piñons with Cedar", 1956 oil:
Thomas Hart Benton - "The Lonely Horse", circa 1940 oil:
Samuel Colman - "The Grand Canyon", 1888 pastel and watercolor:
That was a fun walk:
Then up to the Seattle-Tacoma Airport (SEATAC) - Is That Wendy's plane??
All loaded up and ready to roll:
The first stop was Lamb & Co. in Snohomish, Washington, known to HGTV fans everywhere:
Then we headed up The Coast, for a lovely dinner with friends and family in Bellingham, Washington:
A beautiful sunset on the way to our hotel, with boats coming in after racing:
Checked-in just after 8 PM - 204 miles today (and 5 Post Offices):

My favorite today is 98327 - DuPont, WA - although it is the nicest-looking, there are NO IDENTIFYING FEATURES! But it is very pretty:
