Visited Cathedral Day at St. Mark’s in Seattle today, it turned out to be a truly memorable and uplifting experience. The cathedral itself had a post-modernist vibe on the outside with a more traditionalist inside.

The main attraction seemed to be their massive organ, "The Mighty Flentrop." It was an extraordinary accomplishment when it was installed in 1965. Designed, built, and installed by the Dutch firm of D.A. Flentrop, it contains over 3,944 pipes, ranging in size from 32 feet to less than one inch.

The Church itself has amazing acoustics, as demonstrated by the combined voices of everyone there somehow managing to not sound like a hoard of dying geese. The antiphons were also beautifully chanted.

I ran into several Priests I've met in the past and even a few I used to follow on TikTok, even got a selfie with The Rev. Elizabeth Riley of St Dunstan’s Parish, Shoreline, Washington.

I posted a video of the Procession Of The Banners on Loops.

All in all, it was an amazing experience. Though next year I will be packing my own lunch.
