    Sorry, what is Anchor Park? Jack Block? I’ve got to swing by and try to spot those otters 😍

    Where is Anchor Park? I googled it and couldn’t find it.

      Luna/Anchor Park. On Duwamish Head. We didn’t make up the name but have referenced it 128 times over the years.

        I’m going to have to stop by there again soon. I just don’t remember all that vegetation around Anchor ⚓️ Park. That great otter picture reminds me of Lincoln Park.

Sorry, comment time is over.
