The coach eases away from the circle driveway at the Museum of Pop Culture, engines low and windows fogging with the city's cool breath. Pike Place's cries and the harbor's gulls arrive in a corridor of salt air as the mini coach threads past the Space Needle and the glassed Amazon Spheres; views of the Olympic Mountains punctuate breaks in the skyline like distant punctuation.
