A Ramble Around Phinney Ridge Near the Zoo, and ‘Frelard’, Autumn, 2022
This one is a near-loop starting in the parking lot near Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo. It then runs under a bridge (like a proper troll), through some residential blocks, and skirts through the border of the Fremont and Ballard neighborhoods, an area known locally as ‘Frelard’. It then ends up very near to where it started. This is alos the forst with my new camera so hopefully it looks good too! Enjoy!
