Seattle reached 69 degrees today. Translation: Hookey-time. You'd think it was Orange County or something. Dozens of Seattlelites streamed to Seattle's ever popular Green Lake neighborhood on foot, bike, car, and Vespas to take in the warm temps today. Duke's Chowder House, sitting right atop the crowded north end of the lake, was busy serving bloody marys and fish and chips all day on their outdoor patio.
I, too, was one of the many who bravely wore shorts and flip flops but not before slathering on SPF 30.
Summer officially begins on June 21rst but days like these in Seattle makes you appreciate the natural beauty encompassing us all the time. It just takes a sunny day with no rain to really see it sometimes.
Green Lake is not the only neighborhood flooding with folks getting a workout while getting a tan. But I have to tell you, it's the best people watching you'll ever see. Roller skaters (yes skaters) practice their routines (or whatever you call them) near the community center. Boombox playing with 80's tunes of course. Inline skaters, stroller-city, dog walking galore, volleyball games, pick up basketball, fishermen trying to hook, line, and sink it....oh the list goes on.
Experiencing Green Lake makes you stay in Green Lake. 78 active listings (not including condos and towhomes) right now. One of the best communities in Seattle with great schools, friendly baristas, beautiful Northwest scenery, the local bathhouse theater, and one of a kind century old craftsman homes to townhomes that make you feel as though you were in Whistler.
