About
Hello, my name is Terry. I'm glad you found this site. I create and conduct all See Seattle Walks, Hunts and Scrambles and maintain this website.
Terry
My introduction to Seattle was as a university student from Ohio visiting the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. The Fair, the Space Needle, the Monorail, Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square and riding on Washington State ferries made a memorable adventure for me. Some years later my career (I was a tech guy for a computer company) brought me to the Seattle area. That career ran its course and in 1993 I started See Seattle. Ever since my goal has been to provide memorable adventures in Seattle like I experienced years ago.
"Hope to see you on a
See Seattle adventure in the Emerald City soon!"
