Sailing Puget Sound

Puget Sound is ever changing and one of the never forgotten facts of our lives here on the edge of the world. Living in the Pacifc Rim city of Seattle here in the Northwest provides so many opportunities to enjoy the abundant nature that surrounds us. But the Sound is for me one of the most treasured facets of our environment! A client that moved here because of work sent me a link to her photos while taking a walk with her daughter recently. Sailing Puget Sound I love this one showing a sail boat on the Sound with the city and Space Needle in the background. Krista, thanks for sharing a perfect moment!  

Spuds of West Seattle

Spuds Fish and Chips has several locations around the Seattle area.  This one is near Alki Point in West Seattle.  Some of the better fish and chips we’ve ever had, we usually get a three piece cod combo and split it between the two of us. In the entry before you reach the order counter, there’s a bit of a museum with photos of a natatorium that used to be essentially right across the street.   Well if you are anything like me, you do not know what a natatorium is.  I’ll tell you.  It’s an indoor swimming pool arena.  Yes, there are photos of old time bathing beauties…..  Also on the wall are photos of Spud’s fish and chips, in the early years, with soldiers just home from the war, and signs for the fish and chips for 10 cents.  Oh, and just a clue, it costs just a bit more than that now. At the other end of the room near the front window seats are copies of a newspaper ad where local land merchants (you know, real estate agents) were selling lots by auction, called Alki Point Beauty Home Tracts.  I’m sure some of them are homes that are still standing, but I wonder just how many. That might be a fun study some day.  Alki Point...
