Today it poured all day, not just drizzled.  Wanted to make the most of my trip and I did not want to stay in my hotel room.  Had a choice of visiting the physical Blick Art Materials Store in Seattle or the Seattle Public Library Central Library, but not both.  Checked the websites of both, and I chose the library hands-down!

Am a library enthusiast, and I fell in love with the library from the moment I saw it from the bus.  The architecture was just amazing and the library was just huge, being an 11 stories tall glass pyramid.  They had a wonderful coffee house inside.  Everywhere there are all kinds of plants.  Their contact information is:

Seattle Public Library Central Library

1000 Fourth Ave.

Seattle WA 98104

Telephone:  (206)386-4636

Website:  https://spl.org/hours-and-locations/central-library

They have very transgender friendly restrooms.

Spoke with a librarian for a half an hour (they weren't busy due to the rain) and she made me feel very welcome, not only answering my questions, but volunteering a lot of information that I really appreciated learning.  

To this day, I miss their library!
