Thrak Attack Seattle Trip Video Diary Hope you enjoyed! All the Best, Ross

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! We are on Day #3 of the Seattle trip overview. This day was less of Seattle and more of Washington state; but it's still in the Seattle area. So here we are on day 3 which consists of hiking, a Pokemon battle of legend, some delicious Thai food, and a review of Venom. But before we get into the overview of the trip, let's get to the news of the week! NEWS! -Pokemon Go released Generation 4 Pokemon but only 26 of the Pokemon. I guess they are staggering this generation's release which is a great idea to get people to keep playing the game. I know it helps me out a lot! -Christopher Paolini announced a new book titled "The Fork, the Witch, and the Worm" which will be releasing on December 31st. It is a few stories set in the world of Alagaesia (the world created for the Inheritance Cycle). I don't know how I feel about this, it's a long time between the 4th book and this and also, why release it AFTER the holidays? Wouldn...

Welcome back to Thrak Attack! Here we are on Day #2 of the Seattle trip which is when I found out that Washington is a haven for all things board games, dice games, card games, and pop culture. Here's the overview of my second day in Washington! Space Needle The Space Needle was created in 1962 during the World's Fair at the Seattle Center. It was deemed "The Eiffel Tower for the Modern Age" and has become an icon for Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. It's a futuristic building that gives amazing views of the Puget Sound, Seattle, the Cascade Mountains, and Mount Rainer. We were lucky enough to have a clear day and the views and pictures were diffidently worth the $26 admission. I enjoyed walking around and getting the lay of the land and seeing Seattle from a different perspective. Museum of Pop Culture  The Museum of Pop Culture is also located in the Seattle Center and is the perfect museum for me. I love all things Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Music, G...

Welcome to Thrak Attack! This is the first of 3 posts all about my 3 days in Seattle! I did a lot of the tourist things but a lot of interesting things and I would love to share with you what I did! Hopefully you enjoy and let me know what you think! Onto the story of my day in Seattle! So when I landed in Seattle/Tacoma Airport at 11:30, I had until 4 until my friend picked me up. So I decided to take the light rail into the city. I found out the light rail goes from the airport to downtown and that the Westlake station was a few blocks away from Pike Place Market. This takes us to my first stop of the trip!                                                                 Pike Place Market Pike Place Market is very similar to Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia. Since that is my home city, I loved it. It made me f...

Hello, as you may have saw on our Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter pages; I just got back from a trip to Seattle. It was a 4 day trip with LOTS of adventures and things to write about.
