New Explorations
Friday, a day of great suckitude, was improved enormously by a visit from our Portland friends, Ron and Janet. We had dinner and laughed and told stories and made suggestions and generally had a great time.
This morning, we went exploring up on Pigeon Point, where I hoped to find the park I see from the West Seattle Bridge every morning. We didn't find that park. Instead we found the Duwamish Greenbelt, which is HUGE. According to the Parks page, it's the largest greenbelt in the city, and is that big stretch of green you see from I-5 on the hill. It has paths! It's rural, and parkish, and treed, in Seattle. I was very impressed. And I liked Pigeon Point. I like funky neighborhoods. I was also very taken with this enormous stairway, which I have since discovered is the Genessee Stairway. I wouldn't mind walking down it, going up it would be quite a workout.
We kept meandering on and accidentally found South Seattle Community College, and visited the arboretum. The arboretum was lovely, not very large but full of beautiful trees and plants with their flowers (for the most part) still tightly wrapped. One part was heavenly with Lily of the valley and sweet Daphne Odora. Lovely.
They had a map of the Chinese Garden that is in the process of being built. It's going to be beautiful. Designed by the Park Department of Chungqing, China.
