Lake Union Crew

This is the amazing view (notice the Space Needle in the background) from the Lake Union Crew Building at 11 East Allison in Seattle. It wasn’t until I was writing it up as a new place that I realized the entire building was a boat and moves around as needed! That makes it one of the most amazing buildings I’ve ever been in! Here is somebody’s photo of it floating around. (Thanks znep!)

There were some great houseboats next to the Crew building and I’ve included a photo of them 🙂

A lovely spring day at Kubota Gardens

Leave a reply

What a lovely, much needed Spring Day.  The sun was shining all day and it was in the upper 60s!  Heaven.  I was compelled to be outside, so it was just perfect that I had a date with some friends to visit the 20 acre Kubota Gardens in South Seattle.  These gardens were developed by Fujitaro Kubota.  In 1987, the gardens were acquired by the City, fulfilling the desired of the Kubota family.  There are ponds, waterfalls and of course, many types of flora.  While I was there a young couple was having photographs professionally taken, I’m assuming for their wedding.
