Michael Grass<p>The U District Street Fair is a periodic reminder of how nicely a pedestrianized, car-free space would work along University Way NE (aka The Ave) in Seattle. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Seattle</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UDistrict" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>UDistrict</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SeattleWalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeattleWalks</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/CarFreeLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CarFreeLiving</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Walkable" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Walkable</span></a></p>

Michael Grass<p>I ventured up to Licton Springs Park, the source of the namesake reddish iron oxide spring that&#39;s one of the few Puget Sound Salish place names still in use in the Seattle area today.

Michael Grass<p>King tide walk: Around high tide at Golden Gardens beach in Seattle earlier this morning ...

Michael Grass<p>While you must navigate a steep icy hill on a closed street to reach it, the design of Seattle&#39;s Fremont Peak Park (near Palatine Ave N &amp; N 45th St) takes the alignment of the winter solstice into consideration. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WinterSolstice" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WinterSolstice</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Seattle</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WAwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WAwx</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SeattleParks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeattleParks</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ParkDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ParkDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SeattleWalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeattleWalks</span></a></p>

Michael Grass<p>I love stumbling upon monkey puzzle trees (Araucaria araucana), a species native to Chile, in Seattle. This one is in the Arboretum, but not the one was relocated from Ballard in 2008 that started out as a &quot;quirky gift&quot; from a teenage son to his mother, who planted it and it grew to 21 ft.</p><p><a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/a-big-donation-21-foot-ballard-monkey-puzzle-tree-given-to-washington-park-arboretum/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">seattletimes.com/seattle-news/</span><span class="invisible">a-big-donation-21-foot-ballard-monkey-puzzle-tree-given-to-washington-park-arboretum/</span></a> </p><p>Fun fact: Monkey puzzle tree saplings were handed out to Century 21 World&#39;s Fair visitors in 1962. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trees</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/MonkeyPuzzleTrees" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MonkeyPuzzleTrees</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Seattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Seattle</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SeattleWalks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeattleWalks</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SeattleParks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SeattleParks</span></a></p>
Michael Grass<p>It was drizzle-snowing up on Seattle&#39;s Capitol Hill earlier, but down in Montlake in the Arboretum, it&#39;s been drizzle-misting.
