Location

A residential street in Mountlake Terrace, quite close to the High School.

Participants

Thomcat

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?
