Mural off Nickerson. The other day after a glorious hike at discovery Park my friends Sofia @sofiaviking , Bruce and I grabbed a sandwich and headed up the hill to find a park when we came across this awesome mural. I always love discovering street art and urban murals everywhere I go. This one was particularly awesome as its message is all about climate justice.

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.
