Magnuson Park, Burke-Gilman Trail — Saturday, Feb. 10, 2024

Puget Sound and Islands > Seattle-Tacoma Area

新年快乐 🐉 새해 복 많이 받으세요 ❤ шинэ оны мэнд хүргэе ❤ Happy Lunar New Year .. (i hope the translations are correct .. 😂 )

Today, SAT 10 Jan2024, beautiful weather - sunny .. And to celebrate the Lunar New Year, early this morning, i went for a walk at (WGMP) Warren G Magnuson Park and the neighborhoods.

Cool 40s_F, ~07:00, i was the 2nd to arrive and parked at the E3 parking. At the start, only a few people in WGMP. At Matthews Beach Park, i noticed there were ~10 people and 2 dogs. On Burke Gilman Trail were many Cyclists, Joggers, and Walkers - total ~50. Then when i was back in WGMP - it was a hive of activity; some people were attending to their garden in the Community Garden, some people and their dogs in the Dog Off Leash Area, some Joggers, some Walking, a few Cyclists, ..

It's nice to see so many people out-and-about .. having fun and enjoying doing their own thing 👍

My route - CW-Loop: Parking > NE 70th St > 35th Ave NE > NE 95th St > Matthews Beach Park > section of Burke Gilman Trail > WGMP > Parking.

Cheers! 😊

When I was a young man, I took a summer job mowing lawns in the Lake City/Wedgewood neighborhoods. I would mow a couple lawns, then head to Matthews Beach for a dip, then go do a couple more.
I picked this report at random to say I really enjoy your neighborhood trip reports. I love seeing the photos of areas I haven't been to - I'm always curious what a particular area looks like; even if it's just a random shot down the street. You have a good eye for bringing those to life. You may not get a lot of "likes" on some of them, but rest assured I am checking them out. Keep it up!

Hi mato,

Thanks for your kind thoughts and words 😊 And i am very happy to hear that my "reports" would have you (and/or any others) happily reminiscing of fond memories past 👍

As for the no or little "likes" to my "reports", that's alright with me cos i am only doing it - the walks, rambles & "reports" - just for fun 😄

Cheers!
