ELEVATOR TO 2ND LEVEL

"March 30, 1942
This wall marks the path...
where, on March 30, 1942, Bainbridge Islanders of Japanese ancestry (Nikkei) walked, suitcases in hand, to be carried by ferry away from their homes, to an uncertain future, some never to return.

Some birds we don't see back home.

Unless they're seriously lost.

If you're into skylines, check out this stitched shot..

And if you're into panoramas, check out Mt. Rainier.

Tri-fecta, thy name is Olympics.

Pritchard Park is a work in progress. It has the shoreline features a person expects for a city park fronting Eagle Harbor and from where, at low tide, I caught the above Seattle and Rainier panoramas.

And it has leaking creosote features which cause temporary closures. For now, it's one of only a few dog-friendly parks. Arff!
("Siri: find me a creosote sniffin' hound.")

The public is kept from the Superfund parts of the park, obviously, while free to enjoy the access at low tide.

For us, this Island of Bainbridge, this Isla Bonita, this 

is a place to catch up with old friends.

We over-ate. We over-drank. We came to regret our appointment to claim our Southwest boarding pass.

This, perhaps, might explain it. Our guest room had some of Martha's stuff.

How cool is that?
