Summer greeted Seattle in the end of June with lots of sunshine and warm weather, especially in the afternoons. A couple of days ago, when I went for one of my walks around Green Lake, I was ready for the usual park scenes.
The invitation came via email. Meet at a friend’s house in the afternoon, go for a pre-summer walk, bring some salads or appetizers, and have a light dinner together. Beverages would be provided by the hostess.
Seattle has a new bridge! We’ve seen it being built for five years. Today was the grand opening. The new SR 520 floating bridge – built by the Washington State Department of Transportation – is the longest in the world, 7710 feet. It’s designed to last for 75 years.
