If you know me, you know how much I love salmon. So much so, in fact, that I tweeted about it:
I have had salmon for the past three meals. Yes, I’m eating salmon for breakfast.

I suppose there are worse things to be obsessed with, potential for mercury poisoning aside. But salmon is everywhere out here, as it is a locally caught fish–there is even a Salmon Homecoming Festival that I definitely have to check out! Seattleites and Washingtonians LOVE their salmon.
My parents’ last day here, we went to a local salmon place we found a few days previously. It looked like an awesome venue right on Lake Union, and, as seafood lovers, we were really excited to give it a try. The name of the restaurant was Ivar’s Salmon House, and from the moment we arrived it did not disappoint. The inside and outside of the building were decorated in the style of Pacific Northwest Native American Art (think: totem poles and canoes), and the interior was HUGE. However, all of this paled in comparison to the outdoor patio where we chose to dine–right on the water of Lake Union, where you could take in views of the water and the city, watching boats go by as you enjoy your delectable fish entree. The only real negative was that the I-5 bridge was not far away, so you could hear cars whizzing by, but even that did not put much of a damper on the atmosphere.
