The last day of 2010 and how did I spend my morning? Visiting a location I have never been too - Discovery Park in Seattle!To top it off, it was pretty much an accident. I left home this morning to visit the piers on the Seattle waterfront, only to realize that I had forgotten my wallet at home, and thus had no means to pay for parking (there were some other obvious concerns too, which will go without saying).
So I continued along the waterfront towards the Magnolia Bridge, visiting Elliott Bay Park, Magnolia Park, and finally, Discovery Park.Discovery Park is a lot bigger than I imagined. And those rabits...
I followed the loop trail from the south parking lot towards the water and soon found some nice, uncompromised views of the Olympics. Despite the cold, there was still a lot of haze in the air.
It was fun seeing the Olympic Mountains in all their winter splendor, and from a new vantage point. I definitely have reason to return!
Tonight and tomorrow I hope to continue my streak of visiting new places around the city. Stay tuned!
Oh, and have a fun and safe New Years!
