Quick walk as expected. As seen in the satellite image, a steady flow of cars waiting to make the tricky left turn off of 21st. GPS reading from the curb was within accuracy range, and a few steps into the tall grass made it even better. Then a few minutes' wait for a return bus.

Wed 15 May 2024 in Seattle:

Location

Corner of Delridge Way SW and 21st Ave SW in West Seattle.

Perhaps 1m into some grass, but the adjacent parcel is vacant and doesn't appear to extend to the corner anyway.


Participants

Plans

  • coyotebush: Same as the first part of last week's expedition, getting off the H Line at the Holden St stop. This part has service every 10 minutes, so I can go whenever I feel like it. 170m walk to point, 40m walk back to northbound stop.
  • ...: Take the 65, then the Link, then the H Line.


Expedition

coyotebush

I felt like it around 3pm. Hoped I could still beat rush hour crowds on the return.

Now that I finally learned about the escalator at the University Street southwest entrance, I found the up direction blocked off with no notice. Then had a slightly too long and sunny wait for the bus.

Quick walk as expected. As seen in the satellite image, a steady flow of cars waiting to make the tricky left turn off of 21st. GPS reading from the curb was within accuracy range, and a few steps into the tall grass made it even better. Then a few minutes' wait for a return bus.

Noticed police directing traffic near the stadiums, then discovered light rail was packed with Mariners fans leaving a game. So much for avoiding crowds.
