Jack Block Park

Yesterday I found yet another very cool park in Seattle.  It is just down the hill from my place

It is situated down on the water just across from downtown Seattle.  Normally a person goes to a park and sees swings, big rolling lawns and people playing frisbee.  Not at Jack Block Park.  This park winds through, or along the shipyards of Elliot Bay.  Its a very interesting walk as you see ships anchored just offshore to the north and thousands of shipping containers to the south.  To the east is an unobstructed view of downtown and more!

You can see the park going along the water

See the benches in the above pic?  The picture below shows what your view is when you take a seat and gander off to the east

Now turn around, this is where you came from to get to this bench

Walking along the dock, or dockway - whatever it is?!

Who are these people?

After moving to West Seattle, all of the sudden I had company!  Lets see, Lee and Lisa came to visit.  Truth is, they were already coming and kindly included me in their trip.  On Friday, Lee helped me at work, we installed motorized shades in a few rooms of a 7.5 million dollar condo downtown.  We had a great time the next day, taking the water taxi over to Pikes Market Place.

Check out Lee sticking his head overboard

The next week Mr. Eric Printz decided to show up....lets see if I can put a pic of him on here.  As you will notice, everyone that visits has to come see me at work :)

Dad has been here several times now - check him out

Not sure who this is, but he is enjoying his day down on Alki Beach making music and an extra few bucks
