05/07/25 - Walking Around Seattle

We did some wandering in Seattle. First, we made our way down the new ziggarut that connects Pike Place Market with the waterfront. There's no viaduct. Instead, there's a maze of ramps and steps, a playground, viewing spots and spectacular views. It's a great addition to the city.

Then we walked north along the waterfront, past the piers, the Edgewater, the cruise terminal and on to the Myrtle Edwards rose garden in the park just before the grain elevator. We hadn't been up this way in a while, but it was a perfect sunny day.

We did some more wandering after dinner in Fremont. We walked down the Fremont hill, across the Fremont Bridge and then along the South Lake Union waterfront until our feet gave out.
