After my thirteen hour journey to Seattle it was the biggest relief arriving at my Hostel. The guy in reception was running me through the rules he then told me there was smoking room and because cannabis is legal in Washington everyone was smoking it in there as well, I couldn't believe it, not that it made any difference to me I was just a bit shocked.
