For five ACTION packed days, twenty-three PAA members delved into all that makes Seattle, Seattle: the food, the weather, Dale Chihuly, the ferries, the water, the artists, the collectors, more Chihuly, the museums, the bridges and oh, did we mention shopping??  Led by Trip Planner Extraordinaire Anita Garnier and two irreplaceable Seattle-ites: our bus driver, Becky and art consultant, Margery, we learned and enjoyed an incredible amount in our time there.  New friendships were forged, old ones intensified and all in all a remarkable week.  Will there be an encore, encore, encore??
