Daybreak Star to Ballard Bridge, Summer, 2023
This one runs from Discovery Park at the United Indians of All Tribes Cultural Center at Daybreak Star, and runs through some residential areas and light marine industrial, to a very working dock, and on to the Ballard Bridge. We stay on the south side of Salmon Bay on the greater Lake Washington Ship Canal. It is late summer in Seattle so, these days, that means a smoky sepia-toned haze over everything. Enjoy this little seen, even by locals, area of Seattle!
