(Added "Plans" (which I was probably supposed to do *before* going on the expedition, right?) and "Expedition". Not sure if I did stuff wrong with the formatting, so someone tell me if I did. Will add pictures later.) |

Expedition
coyotebush: Intermittent sun throughout the morning, gradually warming up. Not seeing any other interest in this point, I figured as long as I was out and about, I might as well take the opportunity for a loop route and lunch in a new neighborhood.
Near the University of Washington campus, I encountered evidence of a running event - apparently the Cherry Blossom Run. Indeed, Seattle neighborhood streets are beautiful right now with blooming cherry, plum, magnolia, and such. Dodged a bunch of pedestrians likely visiting UW's famous cherry trees before navigating through the long-running construction at the Montlake/520 interchange.
Next a cafe stop in the Montlake neighborhood's small business district (which also contains a good bike shop). Ate a sandwich there and took a treat for later.
- Lunch nearby first -- coyotebush (talk) @47.6398,-122.3023 12:12, 24 March 2024 (PDT)
Then it was a straight shot uphill on 4-lane 24th Ave E. A surprisingly challenging climb. There was steady traffic coming the other way, but little enough in my direction that cars *could* easily change lanes to pass me... not that all of them fully did.
I pulled over just before E Highland Dr, then realized I could legitimately use the center turn lane for a left turn there. While doing so I carefully paused to sneak a screenshot. Admired some views, but a selfie completely slipped my mind until much later.
Escaped the traffic for a bit via Interlaken Blvd, including the section closed to cars.

This was my first "official" expedition, and it went pretty well! Mostly according to plan- got to the station fine, but realized after several minutes of standing at the bus stop that it was closed. Decided to just walk about a mile and a half to the hashpoint, which made me regret wearing jeans. Not much of interest happened on the hike, but it was good overall.
Once I neared the point, I realized it was in the middle of a relatively busy street, so while I did pass through the hashpoint, I didn't actually get a photo or screenshot standing *at* it, because apparently I'm willing to walk through a busy street for an internet game, but not willing to take a selfie in one. Good to know for later.
PS: If I've made any mistakes in this edit, someone tell me. I entirely forgot to add my plans until after the expedition, and I'm also still not sure about the formatting for two different people going to the same hashpoint. Hope everything looks fine :P.
