Having read a KUOW-NPR 09jan2022 news report of " Sea level on steriods: Record tides flood Washington coastlines .. Port Townsend, Seattle, and Tacoma on (last) Friday .. ", this (12jan2022 TUE) morning, i went to Lincoln Park .. hoping to see the, if any record breaking High Tide at Lincoln Park beach.
Waited patiently beside the Lincoln Park beach, from before the forecast High Tide time of ~12:11, until ~12:30, but i only saw calm water .. 😆 .. On retrospect, perhaps, i shouldn't expect to see any "swollen waves" at Lincoln Park beach - cos "this" is within the (sheltered) Puget Sound?
Anyway, its still ok for me to not get to see any "record breaking High Tide" cos then there's no flooding and damages of properties in this Area 😅
Anyway, i did had some fun earlier this morning. After i arrived at the Lincoln Park Parking Lot 1 (Free Parking, and only ~30% full) at ~10:00, i went and walked the nearby Thistle Street Stairs (350 Stairs). The Stairs and the surrounding area seemed well-maintained, safe and clean. i encountered 2 other person walking up & down the Stairs .. They probably doing their Physical Exercise 👍
After which, i had a leisure stroll in Lincoln Park. i noticed "more" people, young, Old-is-Gold, solo, pair(s), families, groups of friends, a few people were walking their dogs, .. and there's a young woman teaching her son how to fish (at Lincoln Park beach) .. 👍😀 It was nice to see so many people out and about doing their own "thing" and having fun. And i helped rid the beach of 2 tennis balls 😀 Btw, the Restrooms at Coleman Pool was Closed for the Season. Lincoln Park seemed well-maintained, safe and clean too 👍
Stats (Thistle Stairs and Lincoln Park): ~3.7 mi 2:30
