A (continued) Ramble Southbound Along 3rd Ave NW, part 2, Winter, 2023
This one picks right up where the last one ended and continues southbound along 3rd Ave NW. From NW 85th St I go all the way to the canal that connects Lake Union to Ballard’s Chittenden Locks and Puget Sound/The Salish Sea. The last couple of blocks is the only deviation on the direction as I just didn’t want to cross a very busy Leary Way in a city that has a ton of car/pedestrian accidents. Nope. This one ends with me looking across at where I pick up at the start of the next one. Enjoy!
