Do people go to Seattle and remark on the lovely view of the Potomac?

On the Yellow Line metro coming into the city, a large group of tourists with children fresh from the airport remark about the sights coming into view:

Boy 1: "Whoa! Look! What's that?"
Mom: "Oh, it's the Washington Monument! Wow! Look kids!"
Kids: "Whoa...!"
Boy 2: "Hey look, what's that one?"
Mom: "Ahh, I think that's the Lincoln Memorial."
Kids: "Whoa...!"
Boy 2: "Hey, what river is this that we're crossing?"
Boy 3: "Yeah, it's a really wide river. What is it?"
Mom: "I don't know, maybe Puget Sound? Yeah, Puget Sound, I think that's right."

In less depressing news: DC Summer Restaurant Week will be August 6-12. I suspect there will probably be another outing to the fabulous Butterfield 9 in my future, assuming finances allow by that point.
