Randumbworks: foggy seattle

went out on another run the other day. It was a cloudy afternoon, kind of chilly and quite foggy.

here's a picture of the low clouds I was seeing downtown on Cherry/5th:

This was perhaps more interesting to me than it should have been. A playground on the roof of an apartment. I don't think I've seen such a thing before. It would be a neat view for a kid maybe.

This is somewhere in the international district. Thought this was interesting as the top sign is in Japanese (南ワシントン通り) whereas the bottom one is written in Chinese (五番街南)

I passed by what appears to be a tent community. It was across from a hospital.

I took these stairs down to get closer to the waterfront. I believe this is Lake Union

reminded me of spirited away just a bit

saw some dumpster street art. not the cutest, but I guess it adds some color to this gray old place.

Lake Union was also quite foggy. This was around 1 or 2pm or so.

This is an attraction I have yet to try out. But it sounds cool.

I liked the vibe I was getting standing under this bridge. It was quieter than you'd think.

While I was running, I suddenly noticed that the path I was on was a train track. I suppose it has been repurposed and de-urbanized.

I like the neighborhood regional snark. I haven't met enough Seattle locals to confirm anything, but it seems to me like there must be identities attached to the typical residents of certain neighborhoods. That makes sense, a lot of cities have that I suppose.

While I was in Fremont I stopped by to grab a meal at Lucky's. Their banh mi quite hit the spot. I think I'll come back to try their pho next time.

This was an apartment complex facing the lake. I found the design interesting. It appears to be made of shipping containers on the top and concrete on the bottom. There is some sort of communal garden sitting at the bottom of the structure.
