Seattle Urban Walk
Thanks for being such a Fun Bunch. I totally enjoyed showing you my Queen Anne neighborhood and Seattle’s Waterfront, including our new (relatively - opened 2007) Olympic Sculpture Park. And we enjoyed these parks as well: Kerry Park (where walk started and ended), Parsons Gardens, Betty Bowen Lookout, Kinnear Park, Elliott Bay Trail, Centennial Park, Myrtle Edwards Park. Lunch at Anthony’s Fish Bar.
We were 20 strong on the walk. These 19 + the photographer (me).
Consulted with the Weather Gods for them to make sure our mountain (Mt. Rainier) was “out” on the day of our walk, but they apparently ignored my request. Enjoy this photo taken in July 2022 to see what the view looks like when Mt. Rainier is visible.
Captain Vancouver anchored in our Puget Sound in 1792 - a long time ago.
Kinnear Park. Kendra and Dale at the front of the pack.

Down the steps after crossing on the pedestrian bridge over busy Elliott Avenue and railroad tracks. Mirca & Nicola in front
See Keith waving his white bathrobe (he’s to the left of the umbrella on our condo on the 4th floor). Hi, Keith.
Gerlinde and Becky in the Rose Garden.
Glen, Kendra, Clarence, Dale point to Keith’s and my names on the fence. It was a fund raiser for the Sculpture Park in 2007.
Lunch at Anthony’s Fish Bar next to Norwegian Caribbean cruise ship ENCORE. Capacity: 4000 passengers. Yikes!

At the base of the hill where Kerry Park is, there was Keith offering “Uber” service up the steep hill. It is suspected that the three who took him up on his Uber offer, although perfectly able to walk uphill!, just wanted to ride in K’s convertible. Away Keith and his harem went!
