For people with less than ideal current funds or for those just tired of paying for weekend activities, Kubota Garden is perhaps the best free place to go for anyone in Seattle.

Garfield by Jim Davis
Creator, Jim Davis went to college in Muncie, Indiana and based his famous comic strip and cartoon series, Garfield there. The house of Garfield’s bachelor owner Jon Arbuckle is located in Muncie.
Sanders Quarry in Monroe County, Indiana
One of the richest sources of limestone on the planet is located in Indiana. Indiana’s limestone has helped build the Pentagon, the Empire State Building, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the National Cathedral, and more.
The first gasoline pump
The first gasoline pump was created in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Sept. 5, 1885. This pump was invented and built by a man with an awesome name, Sylvanus Freelove Bowser.
The United States thanks you Indiana. Thank you the laughs. Thank you for the building material. And thank you for the gas!
