Below is another view of the "Eagle" with Elliott Bay and the Olympic Moutains in the background.

Robert Wade Photos at Seattle's Alexis Hotel





The Alexis Hotel in downtown Seattle has an art focus that includes displaying original works in guest suites and art exhibitions in hotel public spaces. The Alexis is also a corporate supporter of Seattle's Ronald McDonald House.

The Alexis sponsored an exhibition reception on November 2, 2006, that included a guitarist, excellent hors d'oeuvres, beverages and invited guests.









The exhibition displayed the following images from the two Ronald McDonald House events:
