Man in a Miata

Date: September 28th, 2019

Location: Seattle, Bellevue

Ren and I set out to UberEat most of the day in the Fit.  We set our goal at around $200.

We started off the morning at McDonalds where we grabbed some breakfast, and then worked out way up towards the Seattle area.  We got our first order in Renton before heading over to the Columbia City area in the southern part of the city.  This felt good to reminisce since we used to live there when we first got out here.

Next, we got an order which sent us up towards Interbay.  There were some super nice houses up that way.  Getting there was a bit of a pain however.  As we went down the road, traffic merging had a "No Turn On Red" sign, and so traffic coming from the side road would block the intersection so that when the light turned green, only one or two vehicles could pass in the time alotted.  As we finally got closer, we realized that there was a truck broken down and completely blocking the right lane.  After dropping off this order, we headed up towards Greenwood.

Up in the northern part of the city, we saw a lot of super creative art and some cool sights.  As we drove around, we saw a lot of markets going on, and lots of people outside enjoying the sunshine and weekend fun.  As we crossed Ballard Bridge into Fremont, we really took notice to just how beautiful the city looks.  I couldn't imagine living in any other part of the world.

As we were driving along, I saw a sign that said "Wedding Gowns" but on the first pass, I thought it said "Wedding Guns".  

There was a pretty cool restaurant with cats and tacos on it.

Next we picked up food from a Mexican restaurant that I have delivered from before.  Ren loved the art outside the restaurant, especially the image of the bear right out in front.  After we dropped off this order, we picked up another one for a coffee shop.

Heading to the coffee shop, we saw an awesome neighborhood "library box" where you could share books amongst your neighbors.

When I went inside to pick up the coffee, the line was enormous.  They had to make the order in front of me, so I opened up my InboxDollars, and played some Pet Hop and made $0.30 by the time they were ready.  We dropped off the coffee at this huge house that overlooks Green Lake.  It had an awesome patio on the garage, and just looked super beautiful.  #LifeGoals.

Rain City Burgers was up next.  It looked good, and smelled amazing.  The place has some great involvement with the community and has lots of things up on their walls showing appreciation for them.  The order took a little longer than expected to get delivered, but traffic and other issues caused problems that slowed us down.

Following that, we work our way up around the Elliot Bay area.  We delivered one order to this huge glass skyscraper.  These things look amazing!  That's one thing I love about the city, all the architecture around.  We also saw a building that has sections rotated the further you go up, so it looks very artistic and different from traditional buildings.

El Capitan apartments reminds me of California and the Yosemite mountains.

The Alki side of West Seattle is pure beauty.  It was a crystal clear day and the water gleamed with a breathtaking sight.

Next we headed across the West Seattle Bridge to the Soho area to get food from Orient Express.  This is a restaurant built out of old train cars.  Cool idea for a place,  Ren laughed at the machinery crossing the bridge en route because it reminded her of giraffes.

After this order, we drove over to the Seward Park side to have lunch at Bent Burgers.  I've delivered from here before, and this was the first time eating here.  Pretty good stuff, very filling.  Recommended.

We delivered food from this one place that was next to another called "Lil Jon".  I asked Ren if people ordering from here go "YEAHHHHH!!!"

After this, we crossed over the Lake and did some orders in Bellevue.  We delivered some coffee, and some Ramen.  When I picked up the Ramen, I felt like one of the employees was calling my name but unfortunately I did not recognize them.

I used a restroom at this Thai place, and saw this awesome sign.

Overall, pretty good night.  We passed our goal at $210 over 11 hours, and had a blast.  We also had some entertaining conversations that I shared via social media.  Good times, can't wait for next week!
