Burke Museum and Bainbridge Island



Hi Everybody!

This time I’m going to talk about one of my best experiences here in Seattle:

Well, last Tuesday my classmates and I went to the Burke Museum that is located in the Main Campus of the University of Washington.

The Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture was founded in 1885 and it’s the oldest public museum in Washington. There you can fin a lot of galleries like “Life and Times of Washington State” or my favorite one: “The Pacific Voices” that talks about the native peoples in the Pacific, how they adapt and how they preserve their culture, also there is a lot of Asian art and some ceremonies that are really interesting.

Definitely I really like the museum. Then, after the museum we met with the other group at the Washington Statue to go to the Bainbridge Island. To get there, we had to arrive to the Seattle Ferry Terminal that is located in downtown near to the Pike Place Market.

So, once we got there, we arrived in the Ferry to the Bainbridge Island, that is located at the west of Seattle also is considered as the second largest city in Kitsap County.





Well, the trip was really nice, the view of Seattle is incredible and although it was really cold, I traveled the whole trip outside the trip. Once we got into the Island you can notice that is a beautiful and quite city.


But the best part of the trip was the come back to Seattle, I arrived in the 4:30 Ferry so I had the chance to see the sunset and the night view of Seattle that is so amazing,  that is one of the things you should do before you kick the bucket.
