Drifting Around Seattle
We had a once-every-4-years-or-so snow day here in Seattle. Most of the city simply shut down, and people were skiing, sledding or simply cavorting through the streets like grade-schoolers.
We walked around soaking up the festive atmosphere and taking pictures.
Gasworks Park - there were more people on the hill waiting to sled than I’ve seen in most lift lines
Folks were using anything they could find to sled with - a river kayak, a “pay-or-die” sign from a parking lot, and a set of sofa cushions. Others used cafeteria trays and laundry baskets.
In the Fremont neighborhood, Lenin rides again, with an evergreen garland around his brow
In our yard, our garden sphinx hides her discomfort in a cozy drift
Perfect ending: My machiatto and my wife’s mocha provide the preliminary for a WWF smackdown over a “shared” chocolate espresso torte at Still Life in Fremont coffeeshop.
