This has been a wet spring. There is literally twice the normal snowpack in the mountains, such that we can even see snow on the hills at this time. However, Saturday was an exceptional day. It got over 80 degrees and was sunny and beautiful.

Unfortunately it was a bit hazy. This was a view of Mount Rainier from the playground of the school next to us.

Their is a main road north of our house (228th). Looking west from it into the afternoon sun, you can see the Olympic Mountains on the peninsula.
|
|
Turning to the left (SW) you can see the skyscrapers of downtown Seattle.
|
|
Lake Washington is about 15 minutes south from our house.
|
|
The pier at Kenmore seemed to be popular.
|
|
At the end of the pier, the water looked really interesting with the late afternoon sunlight streaking through.
|
|
The Cascade mountains (to the east) were visible beyond the boats at the marina.

Back up in our neighborhood, the trees were in bloom.

Including the flowering plum tree in our back yard.
