Inauguration 2009: Scenes from Seattle

I would have loved to go to Washington for the inauguration, but that was not to be.  Still, there was a lot of excitement here in Seattle.

Crowds lined up early outside the Paramount Theater.  We arrived well before 7 am.  The line already snaked up Pine Street, over the Boren St. I-5 overpass and up into Capitol Hill.  Thinking we might not make into the theater, we decided to try and find another place to view the festivities.

We found a seat and a hot meal at Lola.  The atmoshphere was pretty festive.
