We parked on James and Boren, then headed north to Madison. Past Swedish Hospital, the birth place of all three of our children. Then we walked past the First Baptist Church on Boylston, where we have enjoyed the Garfield Messiah Sing many of the past several years.
Next we headed down to Pike and saw many typically interesting Broadway stores. As much as the prior walk was typically earthy and natural Seattle, this is the opposite, essentially urban.
After crossing Broadway, we passed the original home of REI. Across another street and we were walking through Cal Anderson park. This is a real gem of an urban space. Built atop a reservoir, there is now a beautiful fountain in the north end of the park.
We continued on past Dick’s (I wonder if Kevin would be jealous).
A little farther north on Broadway and we stopped in at the Broadway Grill for breakfast. This is quite a space with most interesting décor and friendly patrons.
Breakfast over, we set out to finish the walk in a slight drizzle. South to Harvard and back north. We used to spend more time in this area, but seldom get over here these days. The Broadway Market (but we stayed outside). Central Seattle Community College is looking good, with a set of new buildings across the street and much construction in the area. Vibrant Seattle.
The outing took us about 2 hours, including the stop for food. We covered about 2 and a half miles. Another most enjoyable walk.
