Getting Ready for the 4th
Gasworks Park, just down the hill from us, is the scene for one of the two major fireworks displays in Seattle. We walked down there last night - it’s our favorite after-dinner impromptu walking route. On the hill where people are usually flying kites, radio-controlled airplanes, or trying to figure out the inscrutable inlaid sundial at the top, they inflate a Lady Liberty balloon for the fireworks display, giving the park a Planet of the Apes ambience.
As close as we are, we’ve only walked down to see the fireworks a couple times. Other times we’ve been satisfied to watch from our deck, although we’re a long way away and partially obscured. The best time we’ve had watching the Gasworks fireworks display was the time we walked around Green Lake and stopped at Mona’s Bistro on Latona, had the bar to ourselves, and watched the fireworks on television while sipping Tito’s peerless margaritas.
Happy 4th!
