| 3/22/26 Sunset Hill neighborhood |
Sunset Hill is my all-time favorite petal-peeping spot. Although
certainly the University of Washington Quad is the city’s biggest,
grandest Sakura show, and I enjoy the spectacular hanami experience
of the throngs, this single block in the Sunset Hill neighborhood is more my
vibe. Even at peak, these blossoms seem known only to residents who jog or walk
their dogs there. It’s such a quiet residential street that I always walk slowly
down the middle of it, hardly needing to step aside for cars.

| Look at that shape! |
Each tree’s unique shape is as familiar as a friend. As we
both admired one tree in particular (which I’ve drawn many times), another
woman and I declared in unison, “It’s my favorite,” then beamed at each other.
Like their sisters on Crown Hill and Capitol Hill,
these beauties hadn’t yet hit their peak, but they were close. I’m planning to
be back again next week with USk Seattle when it’s full-on party time, so I chose
a smaller tree this time that I hadn’t sketched before. It’s just a warm-up for
the main event.
