Seattle?

I've always wanted to go to Seattle, and I may now have my chance!
A friend of mine I work with works from home in Seattle, and knowing that I've wanted to check out Seattle and see the Pacific, asked whether I'd be interested in housesitting for a week in July...conveniently when the weather is perfect in that area of the Pacific Northwest.
I must say, I am fairly intrigued. I may just take off of work for the week and really explore the area. There's quite a bit to see and do out there.
How cool!
