A Ramble Southbound Along 3rd Ave NW, part 1, Winter, 2023

Odd Ones
Written By rambling seattle

This is the first part of a long straight stretch that will eventually go from Seattle’s northern border at N. 145th St., all the way to Elliot Bay (in 3 parts) along 3rd Avenue. This part goes south to NW 85th St and runs alongside and through a few Seattle neighborhoods. Much of the first part is no sidewalks and very unfinished feeling. By the time I get about 40 blocks, it feels like a different world. #rd Ave NW is very much a local arterial. Greenwood Ave N is a few blocks away and had lots of retail, but this is very residential. I hope you enjoy watching!

This one is… uncomplicated, lol!
