One of my first memories as a child was visiting the Seattle Space Needle.
I do not remember any other part of the trip, nor a single thing about the city, but with horrific precision I can recall the feeling of terror I got by peering over the edge and seeing how high up I was.
To this day I credit the Seattle Space Needle for giving me a permanent fear of heights. That memory kept me from going back to Seattle for over thirty years, until just recently when I went there for work to help open a new cannabis dispensary. I work for a national chain of cannabis distribution centers, and finally we are getting into the business of running our own dispensaries. As anyone in the business can tell you, Seattle Washington is one of the top spots for high end cannabis in the world, both in terms of sales and products. In other words, any cannabis dispensary that is any good is going to have a prime location in Seattle. If you are a major casino, you will be in Las Vegas, and if you are a movie studio you will be in Hollywood, well the same is true with cannabis and Seattle. I will be in the city for the next two months, making sure that our dispensary is up to the high standards of other Seattle businesses. Who knows, while I am here I might even try to see the Seattle Space Needle again, although I kind of doubt it. What other local sights should I see?
