A Ramble Traversing North Queen Anne Hill, Winter, 2023

This one is a walk from west to east across the north end of Seattle’s Queen Anne Hill. Seattle is a very north/south oriented city. We are bordered by water on both east and west sides and this limits space. As such, the streets move north/south quite well but east/west/ well watch the video and know that this is on an arterial. Bonus is that it is a quintessential Seattle day; too rainy to drive without windshield wipers, but not raining hard enough to need an umbrella if you’re walking. It is utterly grey and if you can handle days like this, you can handle Seattle’s weather like a local. Enjoy this walk!
