On Alki Beach.
Mt. Baker behind the Space Needle. This is actually what you can see from the top of our street.

It’s the kind of weather that suddenly makes you realize why you live in Seattle. Cloudless skies, 70 degrees, so clear you can see clear to Oregon. Of course, this would be the week we’re actually in Michigan! But the truth is, aside from the mountains, the weather is much the same here. So it will even out.
UPDATE: Kind readers have reminded me that Mt. Baker is in Washington. I really needed a vacation!
Sofa says, “Have a good week everybody. Mary and Dave have left me with Megan and Mark, and they are spoiling me so I don’t want Mary and Dave to come back right away. They are now going to vacation without getting on the Internet. You can come over to their house and bring me treats, though. I like bacon and cheese.”
I completely agree–I will suffer through months of overcast greyness to have these precious months of sunny, 70 degree days. This time of year, Seattle is the most perfect place on Earth.
Oh, and I mix them up all the time, too: Mount Baker is north of Seattle; Mount Hood is in Oregon. I googled it to double check just now, but I think my husband has finally gotten that one engrained in me. He’ll be so much less ashamed of my directionless ways.
Happy 4th, guys! When are you coming home?
Honey, Mt. Baker’s in Washington.
Did you mean that you could also look south to Oregon?
