3 final Sunday scenes, plus a story

Just after sunset, the vista from Marine View Drive:

Late afternoon, many of those Vashon-visiting Vespa riders trickled off several ferries in succession – we caught this one passing the homes across from Lincoln Park:

Also on Fauntleroy alongside Lincoln Park, a sign caught lying down on the job:

Now, the story, e-mailed by a reader who says she moved to WS 3 months ago and loves it:

I was visiting my son and his wife who live a block off Alki up against a greenbelt; we were sitting on the deck talking when a very large otter walked out from under the blackberry patch. He stopped and made eye contact with each of us, then turned slowly and with belly low crawled back from where he came. It was amazing. When I stopped to ask the men working on a roof a couple doors down, they laughed and one said it must have been what he saw crossing Alki late one night …

    Yes, I will chime in on this topic. WSB is everything I wanted the WS Herald to be but it never was. When I am working downtown, it keeps me connected to WS. It is also a way of keeping things neighborly. I’ve lived in some small towns where everyone knew every thing! I liked that… and WS Blog helps to create that atmosphere for our own little chunk of Seattle.
