Hopefully you won’t have to drive too far to find Skillet Streetfood…in fact this mobile delight travels throughout the week to several Seattle neighborhoods, including West Seattle, Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, Fremont, SODO, Bothell and Redmond.

Last weekend, I decided I could wait no longer…I had to check out the infamous Skillet featuring gourmet bites created in an airstream trailer.

Sunday Drive: Southbound on the Alaskan Way Viaduct

I enjoy driving down the viaduct…northbound is prettier than heading south in my opinion but I love this old structure.  I’m going to miss it when it’s gone and I think it’s really concerning that our elected officials have no regard for the citizens who voted to keep the viaduct.  Instead, they are blazing ahead with plans for a tunnel.  Why vote when your officials don’t honor the voice of their citizens?  Adding insult to injury according to this article, Seattle homeowners may get the bill fo cost over-runs.  Your thoughts?

Blake Island Park

Mount Rainier from Blake Island

Just a hop, skip and a jump from West Seattle is Blake Island.   Last weekend, after our  “drive by” earlier this month, we decided to cruise over with our kids to this State Park and go tent camping.   Our campsite (#34) had views of Mount Rainier, Vashon and Southworth along with the ferry runs.   We saw seal, otter, eagles and other birds along with hundreds of jumping fish.  The Ranger came by to worn us that if we didn’t lock up all our food (the provide locking garbage cans–you should not store the food in your tent) we would lose it raccoons and otters.  I guess they will actually unzip your tent and come on in if they think you’re hiding goodies.
