A Stupendous PNW Pacific Northwest Day yesterday.

A Stupendous PNW Pacific Northwest Day yesterday. Me, @roniq @rajiveh and Randy went to Discovery Park. #discoverypark is an outstanding #urbanpark just a few miles from downtown #Seattle. It’s massive.. 500 acres and 12-miles of trails. On our hike covered meadows, forest and beach. We saw Mt Rainier, Mt Baker, The Olympics. We spent many minutes watching a group of 4 transient orca (Biggs Orca) moving slowly down the Sound.. (check out Roniqs photo). We heard eagles calling.. at the beach we saw seal and a giant California sea lion. All day, the clouds were some of the coolest I’ve seen. And we returned to the park just above our house just in time to catch a fairly decent sunset (no filter at all used on my camera phone). So folks... that is a PNW day. And, easily, in my opinion, one of the best urban parks in all the USA.

Do you have a favorite urban park? Share.

Northwest Railway Museum and Snoqualmie Depot. Ab

Northwest Railway Museum and Snoqualmie Depot.

About 30 miles outside of Seattle is a small town of Snoqualmie WA. The name is derived from the Snoqualmie tribe, one of the many Coast Salish tribes. Most known for the famed Snoqualmie Falls; however, the tiny town has a couple of cute shops and pubs and very cool to stop by the Northwest railroad museum. Even though the museum is currently closed during Covid, the outdoors railroad depot, built back in 1890, is open for you to get a close look at some of the old trains. Definitely worth a quick stop over before or after the waterfall.

Jeeze.. look at the time!

Giant clock, about 8’ x 8’, as seen from the upper mezzanine of Seattle’s Westlake Center light rail transit stop. Reminds me of when I was younger how mesmerized I was by New York’s Penn station
