Exploring the city, it feels both dark and somehow inviting. New experience for sure.

Wish I could figure out how to attach multiple photos in voyager.

    I love Seattle at night, you can get such different feelings. It’s such a pretty city, and it really does look better in the rain.

    Just avoid 3rd Ave

      So I walked 3rd late yesterday on the way to the needle… It’s a work in progress, seems to be reviving itself, but it wasn’t too rough.

      What was 3rd like previously?

        It comes and goes honestly. Sometimes I feel completely fine - othertimes it feels off. It’s the transit cooridor so it just attracts a lot of attention, and the McDs on 3rd and… Pike I believe? always looks like a zoo.

        I was out last weekend and it was completely fine, but 2 months ago there were a lot of people shouting and causing commotions, so it just depends. It was great a few years ago, I’m hoping it’s just a blip.

    Nice picture, but as a biker I hate them putting those lanes on that road. 🤣

      I know the feeling, as both cyclist and motorcyclist haha. “They’re just lines on the road, no real safety!” Vs “aww man, it’s bottlenecking traffic by reducing lanes”.

      Ultimately, imperfect but appreciated by me. Or did you mean the incline?

        Yea the incline. Seattle has this stupid habit of putting the bike lanes on the steepest hills. No biker is ever going up those.

          Haha I saw at least a few young ladies smiling as they walked their bikes up those hills on the sidewalks. At least they’re fun to go down 🤷

            The one on yesler is even more of a mind fuck. When 3 blocks over they could do Jackson. Really feel like whoever sets those up had never ridden a bike.
