Weekend in Seattle & Mercer Island

We arrived to Seattle this Friday night and drove to Mercer Island to find our temporary housing. We thought it would be very easy to find the apartment building. Well... there are, probably, about hundred buildings that look the same as our building, so we drove in the dark for a while.
Mercer Island is very green and a lot of trees are blooming. There are many pretty houses facing the lake, I would definitely not mind to live in one of them. Another nice thing at Mercer Island is the air; it smells very nice - fresh pine tree smell.
I made a little trip today to Issaquah (my office is there) to buy some groceries at QFC and stop by at Target. Surprisingly, the whole Washington state decided to go to Target, I have never seen it so busy in Minnesota. While my little trip, the weather was changing from rain to sunny. Yes, there is sun here! The most outstanding fact about my little trip is that even being "directionally challenged" (as Erik says) I didn't get lost. I am thinking to explore something tomorrow too.
Well, I am ready to sleep now since I didn't adjust to new time zone yet. Erik will tell you more about our apartment search.
