| 6/30/25 Mt. Rainier and The Brothers from Maple Leaf |
Our first heatwave of the official summer season was just
getting under way. It was an old-school, Seattle-style heatwave – the kind that
cools down to the high 50s at night, no matter how hot it gets in the daytime,
and lasts only a couple of days. Not that newfangled, triple-digit “heat dome” stuff.
I got out early for my walk to pick up a few groceries. In these parts, it’s a treat to be able to take a walk in a T-shirt (with no other layers!) when the air still has that crisp freshness. Cherries were ripening on the trees, and my neighbors’ Lucifer crocosmia were beginning to bloom.
Crossing the Northeast 80th Street Interstate 5 overpass, I stopped for my ultimate treat: a view of both Rainier to the south and The Brothers to the west from a single point.
Yes, this is why I live here.
wow
