Plans
Dawn visit, perhaps? No particular plans.
Expedition
On the road before sunrise, but arrival would be after. Why not stop for a donut?
Drove to the spot, parking on it, and took my faithful hashdog companion for a stroll down the path. We reached a few neighborhoods, and after returning to the car, drove slightly west and walked up another path to Mountlake Terrace High School, where I have worked many baseball games in the past. Pictures below.
Interestingly, I returned to my computer to google "dawn seattle" which gave me a time of 7:06 am (tomorrow). Then I googled "sunrise seattle" and got 7:39 am. Twilight is the name given to the time between dawn and sunrise, between dusk and sunset, and it can apparently be measured. Learned this and many other facts here: MrReid.org. I would think this would also change based on weather conditions - heavy clouds reduce the pre-sunrise light - but what do I know?
