Today we had a slow morning and went to Eastern Market which is a Pike Place-like farmers market with around 225 vendors. We lucked out with the weather being sunny and warm, so it was no surprise that the market was packed. We then had a free afternoon so a few of us took a walk to downtown which took around half an hour and explored the city.
After our city exploration we made dinner and went to the Congress of Communities (COC) event for youth that was planned by their youth council. The event started with a few speakers, then dinner followed by games and dancing! We asked how long they had been planning this event and they said they started organizing back in October! It was inspiring to see the amount of work the youth puts into their community.
