 Tom and I helped celebrate the opening
of the new Jack Block, public park today.

Yes, we were quite adventurous.



 This beach had been polluted and
people were banded from it's shores.

It took twenty years to clean up this beach.
 Today, it's beautiful and ready for
summer pleasures, of all kinds.


 They even handed out free coffee.
Well, this is Seattle!

 On the way over to West Seattle, we came upon this,
while driving across the floating bridge.

These are runners in the Rock'n' Roll Marathon.
Check out the video on this site.
 It's quiet a moving story.

    Hi Christine-I'm a new blogger and new follower of yours.
    My brother and his family live in Tacoma. I visited often when I was a teenager. Many, many moons ago!
    Please stop by my blog and say "hi".

    Twenty years is a long time, but I am sure it was a rewarding project. I think the peep picture is perfect! Another fun visit to your creative blog.

    Mary, yes I was very tempted to try one. Tom and I looked into rentals for the summer. Looking forward to that!

    I have absolutely no clue how I missed this post until now! You had me with the first photo. I loved it!

    Twenty years...

    When I think of that, it boggles the mind. I love the fruit of all the labor.
