Burke-Gilman Trail — Monday, May. 13, 2024

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

Early MON 13may2024 morning, i went to Seattle WA for an urban walk.

~05:45 i was the second to arrive and park at the Mid Ravenna Park parking lot. And OUT i went on a CCW-Loop on "road link connectors" through ~2.5 mile of Burke Gilman Trail, the neighborhood > Ravenna Park.


Of the "road link connectors", ~100% were on Sidewalks. Also, traffic was light, and a few people were walking.

On the Burke Gilman Trail were a total of ~20 Cyclists, ~20 Walking and 5 Joggers.

Getting back in to Ravenna Park, i noticed some (small) "Stickers" that says (or protests): "THIS PARK WAS CLEARED WITH VIOLENCE", "IF EVERYONE CAN'T AFFORD THE RENT", THEY SHOULDN'T F#*&ING TAKE OUR TENT" .. My guess is that there were encampments in Ravenna Park that were cleared?? Anyway, walking further along, i noticed a person "cowboy-camp" in the woods.

When i got back to the Parking ~08:40, i noticed that the "first" vehicle (a Red color Sedan) was still in the parking lot. i took a closer look at the vehicle and i noticed that its Driver's Side-mirror was brokened and dangling from its holder. Also, a "loaf size" concrete block was directly behind its Rear Tire; and some bags and "stuff" were scattered inside the vehicle.

Btw, other then the above-mentioned "Stickers" and vehicle, Ravenna Park was nice and clean. 

Cheers!

Clocked: ~8.1 mi, Ascent 617 ft, Total Time 2:47
