Location

Front lawn of a house in Woodway, WA, in Snohomish county, just north of Seattle.

Participants

Thomcat

Plans

Expedition

Dropped off my daughter at the bus stop and figured, what the heck.

Umpired a baseball game at Meadowdale the other day, then came down to the Richmond Beach library for a training session. Between the two was the road I was on this morning, leading through Woodway Washington. I'd never been on this particular road, or driven through this little community. Other than a speed limit of 25 MPH throughout, it is pretty nice, and there is a park (Deer Creek) that I'd like to return to with the dog someday.

Anyhow, this visit was to a property on the south end of Woodway, quite close to the "leaving" sign pictured below. Yes, you can guess what is on the other side of that sign. The road had me at 10 meters from the hashpoint, which put it on their porch. Being before 9am and me being not the most presentable, I opted to step onto the lawn and half the distance, then call it good.

To complete the picture review in reverse order, the first picture below is a baseball field south of the hash point that we used to work at a lot. It is quite overgrown and I didn't see any bases anymore - suspect Hillwood Park has been retired.
