Friday 19 Jan 2018 OPA Seattle and Fiduciary visit

Big day with trip to Seattle via ferry to check out fiduciary agent. Dressed kinda nice as possible with limited wardrobe. Checked the map and only 1/2 mile from Seattle ferry terminal to building. There is an elevation change, uphill. Decided to walk it. I should get there early enough to have time to be slow and steady. There is a building with view area at top close by - turns out to be the same building.

It was a free ride from Bainbridge Island to Seattle. Pay to come back to Bainbridge. The trip is about 30 minutes. Our departure was delayed due to medical emergency on the car deck. Sat up front and watched the Seattle skyline appear. 

Received a call about the household delivery before left, delivery on Sunday after church. Received a call shortly after boarding the ferry, could not hear, switched to text. Problem with card transaction. Once got to Seattle terminal called credit union. Not completely resolved. Did figure out a work around. 

It was a slow steady walk uphill. Arrived about half hour early. They were ok with that. It was a good meeting. They answered questions, asked some for which I mostly had answers. Decided to hire them. Both of the men I spoke with were prior military, one aviation in Marine Corp. Have other things in common with both. Comfortable conversation. 

Walk back to ferry terminal. I had bought return ticket before walking to meeting. Terminal was full. The ferry was unloading. A girl had jumped off the 1405 ferry and the schedule was about 30 minutes late. They had a busy day with the two emergencies on the one I came in on and the jumper. Chatted with a couple of other passengers. Rode in the front again. Too dark to see much. 

Completed my first ferry ride to and from Seattle without incident.
