bellevue: Friday's Did You Know? --- Lake Sammamish's Underwater Forest
- 11/09/07 03:14 AM
A favorite area for both canoe paddlers and fisherman, the sunken forest of Lake Sammamish stimulates even the non-dreamers imagination. Did you know that the spooky old growth forest in Lake Sammamish is attributed to a major seismic event that happened over 1,000 years ago? Apparently there was an event so large that it moved an entire forest down the slopes of the south end of the Lake depositing an entire stand of old growth to the watery grave. If you've never seen the sunken forest pick a good day and take a short paddle from Vasa park, or further south … (0 comments)

Friday's Did You Know? - Coal Mines in Bellevue? I've been to a coal mining city. If you ever find yourself in Nye Montana, you'll know what I mean when I say those people are TOUGH!

bellevue: Friday's Did You Know? The First Bellevue to Mercer Island Bridge
- 06/30/07 04:41 AM
Did you know that the first access from Bellevue to Mercer Island was across the East Channel bridge? The bridge spanned Lake Washington between Enetai in Bellevue and Barnabie Point in Mercer Island. It opened on November 10th 1923. It was only a small wooden bridge that lasted until 1940 when it was replaced by a second, more substantial bridge. The old East channel bridge was in such disrepair towards the end of its life, school bus drivers used to make the kids get out and walk the rickety wooden bridge to cross.

Here are some photos of the cranes of Bellevue in action.

bellevue: Bellevue Traffic Map
- 06/08/07 02:37 AM
If you live on the Eastside, you've been there with me.......sitting in Bellevue traffic! Southbound traffic is particularly bad in the afternoons as the 520 commute merges southbound and traffic snarls in the Wilberton tunnel/ I-90 area. I found this map the other day and have it on my computer desktop. Now, just before I head to Bellevue, I pull it up to take a look.Here's the link: http://www.wsdot.wa.gov/traffic/seattle/ For getting around those pesky Bellevue arterials, here's a map.
