Summer look at Solstice Park, by writer you’ll recall from winter

(December 2008 photo by Brian)
Six months ago, when Winter Solstice arrived on December 21st, skiing, snowmobiling and snowshoeing were rampant along West Seattle walkways and streets. If you didn’t have the equipment to try making your way around in any of those ways – you probably tried driving – and if you did, you may have used one of the maps made during our snow coverage, using WSBers’ road-condition reports, by Alice Enevoldsen. Now, half a year later, Alice is looking ahead to Summer Solstice this weekend, with an online exploration of West Seattle’s Solstice Park (the former Lincoln Park Annex, uphill from the Fauntleroy Way-fronting tennis courts). See her story (with, yes, a map!) here.

    Solstice Park is a wonderful, little-known spot. I always pick up litter whenever I go there – not a lot, but some cigarette butts and glass pieces. Why can’t people be more respectful?

    Thanks for the link WSB! I hope y’all come and watch the sunset this weekend – or go stargazing when these clouds clear up.

    Keep looking up,

    And thanks for letting us know, and for evangelizing keeping the eyes on the skies: I was briefly out of state late last week at a family gathering, standing in a back yard looking skyward, and two little girls in the extended family (5 and 3) became immediately fascinated with constellations as soon as I started babbling about them. I hope they went home to Indiana and kept looking up, because I’m sure the pickins’ are better there than in light-polluted Las Vegas where we happened to be gathering – TR
