Location

North parking lot of Everest Park in Kirkland.

Participants

Coyotebush (talk)

Plans

Incorporate a visit into a bike ride, probably aiming for 4pm.

Expedition

I had been looking for some structure to this day, and the Algorithm provided that with a hashpoint close to a great bike route.

I left Fremont at exactly 3pm in the heat of the day. Wind out of the northwest gave me a boost across the 520 bridge trail. The Blue Angels roared overhead for their Seafair show, and the trail was unusually crowded with people watching, but I didn't have much time to stop for photos.

From the 520 trail, I climbed a hill to the Cross Kirkland Corridor for some nice gravel, then just after the Google campus (and a pleasant-looking spot with beer served from a caboose) cut across 5th Ave S to the park. It was exactly 4pm when I arrived at the parking lot. Took some photos, then sat in the shade for 30 minutes in case anyone else showed up, but only saw a bunch of families returning to their cars after a (softball?) game.

I rolled into downtown Kirkland for a cold treat, then returned home via Juanita Drive, Kenmore, and the (blissfully shady by this time) Burke-Gilman Trail.
