Location
Right next to an apartment building in the Greenbridge development, about three blocks outside the Seattle city limits.
Participants
Plans
It's a bit far and likely to be wet, so I'd most probably go by transit. GreenBridge Cafe, 50 meters away, sounds excellent - perhaps that's lunch. Coyotebush (talk)
Expedition
The early morning was rainy, but by late morning it was more windy than anything. Several bus routes intersect at SW Roxbury St (the city limit) and 8th Ave SE; I selected a travel plan with the shortest bus ride, which turned out to mean taking route 131 from near the SODO light rail station rather than from downtown.
- Waiting for the 131 bus -- Coyotebush (talk) @47.5794,-122.3292 11:43, 11 February 2024 (PST)
The bus stop was within 100 meters of the point, and I ascended a flight of stairs to 8th Pl SW, really a mid-block parking lot also providing entrances to upper-floor apartments. Soon I realized that these entrances had more substantial porches between the sidewalk and building than expected - perhaps I had mistakenly looked at the other side of the building.
The point seemed to be between the porches of units 202 and 203, and behind a large tree. I considered how to get satisfactorily close without causing concern. Presently a car parked nearby; I waited for a while, then the occupants entered unit 201. Could have engaged with them. Eventually I popped up to 203's porch for a minute then scurried away.
The cafe around the corner had just a few other patrons and offered me a brunch menu. I ate a delicious eggs benedict with a view of arriving airplanes - quickly, in time for the next northbound bus.
Took a few more photos and retraced the same journey back home, with occasional sun in the sky.
